Prolotherapy and Back Disorder
Articles
Prolotherapy
and Spine Disorders
Jay W. Nielsen, M.D.
The orthopedic
surgeons' reliance and emphasis on x-ray procedures and surgery by nature
makes him think of the spine as a focally or regionally injured organ.
Actually, it's rare for a spine injured by sudden
deceleration in an auto accident, lift or fall to receive its injury in one
area. The x-ray changes suggesting that simply show the peak of injury, not
the breadth. The patient frequently senses this better than the surgeon as
he/she notes pain in remote areas where x-rays appear normal.
Prolotherapy after Back Surgery
Ross Hauser, M.D.
Many people only become aware of
Prolotherapy after
they have undergone a surgical procedure for back pain. Although the pain may
not be as severe as it was before the surgery, most people continue to
experience significant back pain after surgery. Why? Because the
back surgery
involved removing supporting structures, such as a lamina,
facet, or disc, thus
weakening surrounding segments.
Failed Back Surgery and Prolotherapy
Ross Hauser, M.D.
Patients often have chronic
low back pain persisting after surgery and are put into the category
of people with "failed back surgery syndrome." It is easy to find
reasons why a
back surgery
patient would still have pain after the surgery. During surgery, for
example, a discectomy (removal of the disc), the surgeon must spread
some muscles and cut some of the
ligaments in order to perform
the surgery. The surgery itself can cause ligamentous laxity and
instability of the spine.
Identifying Different Types of Back
Pain
Marc Darrow, M.D.
here are many structures in the lower back that can cause severe pain.
These include muscles, ligaments, tendons, bones, joints and discs. For
example, the outer rim of the disc can be a significant source of back
pain due to its rich nerve supply and tendency toward injury. During our
body's development, there is a great deal of overlap of nerve supply to
all these structures. This makes it nearly impossible for the brain to
distinguish between injury to one structure versus another. For example,
a torn or herniated disc can feel identical to a bruised muscle or
ligament injury. This is where an examination into the cause of the pain
is important.
Low Back Pain and Prolotherapy
Ross
Hauser, M.D.
The first step in determining
ligament
laxity or instability in the lower back is by physical examination. The
examination involves maneuvering the patient into various stretched
positions.
Degenerative
Disc Disease
Ross
Hauser, M.D.
Many patients are distressed at being told that they are suffering from
one or more degenerated discs. This suggests an irreversible and
crippling phenomenon. The term "degenerated" should be discarded because
disc degeneration is universal as age advances, and often causes
no symptoms. There must be other structures in the back that are
causing the symptoms. The structures causing back pain are most often
the
ligaments.
Sciatica
Marc Darrow, M.D.
Radio Show Caller: I have had back pain
for some time, the pain radiates down my legs, I have had three
epidurals and cortisone shots but without any relief, where do I go
from here?
Prolotherapy and Disc Problems
Richard I. Gracer, M.D.
While disc problems cause back pain and are often responsible for sciatica (leg
pain), ligaments that are strained or lax are the most common cause.
Chronic low back pain
Chronic
low back pain (CLBP) is defined as ongoing back and/or back-related leg symptoms
beyond three month’s duration. For those unfortunate individuals afflicted
with this condition, even simple daily rituals such as getting out of bed,
making breakfast, or doing laundry can be difficult tasks. Despite recent
medical advances in both the diagnosis and treatment of the condition, CLBP
remains the leading cause of pain and disability in developed countries.

and Scoliosis
Ross Hauser, M.D.
Scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine of 11
degrees or more. An estimated 500,000 adults in the United States have
scoliosis. Scoliosis is usually discovered during adolescence and is called
idiopathic scoliosis, a fancy term meaning the doctor has no idea what caused
the scolios.
