PROLOTHERAPY AND
 NERVE
BLOCKS
Ross Hauser, M.D.
Sometimes people believe nerve blocks are the “last ditch” effort to get
rid of their pain or prevent them from getting a surgery.
Prolotherapy
can be the
answer when nerve blocks are not. Do not let anyone tell you that
surgery is your only hope if you have not tried
Prolotherapy. At our
office when a person is an appropriate
Prolotherapy candidate, he/she
has an 80-85% chance of achieving pain relief without surgery, even when
they have been told that surgery is their only option.
Wrong diagnoses?
When a person presents with radiating pain down the leg, often
traditional doctors “assume” the condition is “sciatica”
or a nerve problem. Well, I am here to tell you that almost all of the
time it is not a sciatic nerve problem. If it isn’t a sciatic nerve
problem, (or neck/cervical nerve problem), then is it any wonder that
nerve blocks do not relieve the pain? Most of the time the person
suffering from the pain has not considered that maybe the doctors are
treating the wrong diagnoses. Makes you think, doesn’t it?
How can you know? Clues?
Are there any clues that the doctors are treating the wrong diagnoses?
You bet there are! One of the best ones is that the person has no
numbness. If you do not have any numbness in your leg/foot/arm or hand
then it is doubtful you are experiencing a
pinched nerve. If you do have
numbness, but the feeling in the leg/foot/arm or hand is normal, again,
it is doubtful you truly have a pinched nerve.
Yes, there are some other clues. If you primarily have
low
back pain or
neck pain
and the referral pain to the extremity is 25% or less of the pain
problem, then, again, it is doubtful you have true
radiculopathy or a sciatic nerve
problem. What does this mean? It means that there is a great chance that Prolotherapy is going to work for you!
What is Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy is a treatment that stimulates the body to repair painful
areas. When a person has, say, for example,
low back pain with referral
pain into the leg or foot, then typically this means that the pain is
coming from injury to the
sacroiliac ligaments.
In the neck, we see injury to the verterbral ligaments. Yes, ligament
injuries can refer pain into the extremities (leg/foot/arm/hand) and
even cause a numb feeling. Yes, ligament injuries can even cause a pins
and needles sensation that radiates into the leg or arm.
Prolotherapy to the
ligaments of the
pelvis, lower back, or neck not
only get rid of the localized pain, but get rid of the referral pain.
Prolotherapy to the
sacroiliac ligaments is one of the most common
procedures we do at
Caring
Medical in Oak Park, Illinois. Since the
sacroiliac ligaments are injured very easily when a person bends forward
and twists in either direction, it is, to say it plain and simply, “a
very common injury.”
When a person experiences “sciatica” down the leg, he/she should first
think sacroiliac injury before disc injury. When contemplating various
treatments, it just makes plain sense to think Prolotherapy instead of
nerve blocks and surgery. The next time a doctor says to you, “I am
referring you for a nerve block,” ask him/her, “How about sending me for
Prolotherapy?” After the doctor wakes up from shock, explain to him/her
the above principles.
For the person with
low back pain and/or
neck pain referring to the
leg/foot/arm/hand Prolotherapy is often curative. Prolotherapy is given
about once per month for three to six visits. Remember a great
alternative treatment to nerve blocks is Prolotherapy. |
