Sacroiliac pain
after two Prolotherapy sessions
Q. How do I know if this pain
and soreness, even to the touch, is actually loose
ligaments in the
sacroiliac? Every time I sit down there is a tingling that goes down my
tailbone to the sit down bones.
I have had 2
Prolotherapy treatments
in that area with at least 80
Prolotherapy injections each.
Afterwards I had much muscle spasm in the buttocks and not very much
pain relief. Is Prolotherapy the answer?
A.
Sacroiliac pain is pretty easy to recognize. It occurs not in the
center of the back but just on the side, typically over the location of
the sacroiliac joint. It is increased by bending forward and then
twisting. Typically sitting increases the pain. To make a definitive
diagnosis you could have the doctor add extra anesthetic to the solution
and inject it into the sacroiliac joint and see if you get immediate
pain relief. If you do then the sacroiliac joint is the problem. In our
experiences Prolotherapy generally gets rid of the pain in 3 to 6
visits.

Sacroiliac pain after six Prolotherapy sessions
Q. At what point-after, say, 6+ Prolotherapy treatments by an
experienced
Prolotherapist does one begin to consider SI (sacroiliac)
joint fixation/fusion? I am seeing some progress in terms of frequency
of recurrent sublixation of the joint, but am still in a considerable
amount of pain. I know that experiences are different, but at what point
do we say that this is as good as it can get with prolo?
A.
Prolotherapy is extremely successful at curing sacroiliac pain and
subluxations. Generally when I see a patient that has gone somewhere
else and had a lot of Prolotherapy and the condition has not responded
it is because of one of these factors:
1. The solution used was not strong enough.
2. The treatments were not thorough enough.
3. The person is doing something in between visits to loosen the
sacroiliac joint again (the most obvious one would be
manipulations)
Having said all that in the past 13 years I believe I have sent 2-3
people (out of say 1,000) with sacroiliac problems for fusion.

Sacroiliac pain after Prolotherapy
Q. I fell off a ladder onto my
back in December 1999. I had Prolotherapy for severe joint glide and the
treatment did help alot, to the point where I could return to work.
Unfortunately it did not last and my pain and glide became worse and I'm
now off work again. I returned to Prolotherapy injections with marginal
improvement but nothing close to the original success. Can you tell me
what percentage you would use for the injections? How many injections
per compromised ligament would you suggest so I can discuss this with my
prolotherapist?
A. It
is common at
Caring
Medical for us to see clients that have had partial success with
Prolotherapy given at another facility. What we do in those cases is
use very strong proliferants. To give exact percentages of
solutions
and solutions used would not be appropriate since I don't know your
exact case. I can tell you that most likely you didn't get a
complete response because of one of these reasons:
-
Not
enough proliferant injected per injection.
-
Not a
strong enough proliferant injected.
-
Not
enough areas injected.
What you
most likely need is a complete
lower back treatment.
The
sacroiliac ligaments basically connect to the lumbosacral and
iliolumbar ligaments, so these need to be injected also. You probably
need your
pubic symphysis Prolo'd also. Think
about it. If your sacroiliac joint keeps subluxing perhaps it is because
the front of the
pelvis, the pubic symphysis joint, is not stable. So
you probably need Prolotherapy of all these areas with strong
proliferants. That along with good lifting/bending technique should give
you the pain relief you seek.

Sacroiliac Pain for 20 years and Prolotherapy Treatments
Q. I have had
Prolotherapy in so many
area's I don't even know where to begin. Many have worked but when it
comes to the sacroiliac and lower back I'm about ready to give up! I
fell of a building site and landed on my feet, no where to break the
fall safely. Ongoing for over 20 years also on SSDI for close to 15
years. I would love to return to work of some kind but it does not seem
likely. What to do? D-
A. D, thanks for trying Prolotherapy but as you know a person should
not need so much Prolotherapy. When someone needs a lot of
Prolotherapy in their body or to a certain part of the body and the
doctor has to use stronger and stronger solutions it means there is
something wrong with the healing mechanisms in that particular person.
Obviously I don't know your case but you probably need a comprehensive
natural medicine workup. Go to a great natural medicine physician and
get a good workup and do what they tell you. Get your body so healthy
that when a Prolotherapy doctor gives you some Prolotherapy you heal
completely. Obviously we would love to see you at Caring Medical in Oak
Park Illinois. If we don't we still wish you the best of health!!!
