 Osteoarthritis
Ross A. Hauser, M.D.
Osteoarthritis of the
shoulder is characterized by the destruction of the protective
cartilage in the joint with painful and restricted motion.
Arthritis does not affect the shoulder joint as often as it does
large weight-bearing joints, such as the hip and knee. There is
usually a history of trauma to the shoulder or previous surgery.
While plain X-rays can confirm the presence of osteoarthritis in
the shoulder, the most common unseen culprit to the development
of arthritis is chronic ligamentous laxity. Following trauma to
the shoulder, such as a fracture, damaged ligaments may go
undetected. The excessive play in the joint may result in the
development of bone spurs, which is the body's way of reducing
joint motion. Remember, that if the physician tells you that a
bone spur is found on X-ray, it almost universally means that
there is ligament laxity. The orthopedic surgeon may convince
the patient that the spur must be surgically removed. This,
however, does nothing to remove the cause of the spur. This
whole situation can be prevented if proper shoulder management
is followed by the treatment of ligamentous injuries with
Prolotherapy, because the cause of the spurs is addressed. This
is especially true for athletes who fracture the bones of a
joint, such as the shoulder. The ligamentous injuries need to be
treated with Prolotherapy. Otherwise cartilage deterioration,
bone spurs, and osteoarthritis will form.
Osteoarthritis is not a common problem for the young athlete,
but young athletes beware! At some point, you will get older and
be a senior citizen who lives for tennis or whatever the sport,
so prevent osteoarthritis now! Osteoarthritis due to weak
ligaments can be prevented in later life by doing Prolotherapy
today. Anytime you are injured, make sure you heal completely.
The best way to do this is to have a Prolotherapy doctor on your
sports team. Only this person has the expertise to diagnose and
treat ligament injuries with Prolotherapy.
Prolotherapy is an excellent treatment for ligamentous laxity
that leads to osteoarthritis. As with most disease states,
catching the problem early is the smart thing to do. Severe or
late-stage osteoarthritis of the shoulder can be improved with
Prolotherapy injections, but results are less dramatic because
of the permanent destruction of cartilage. In this situation it
can provide some pain relief, but often natural medicine
treatments are also needed. Using the natural medicine approach,
in conjunction with Prolotherapy, has allowed many people to
avoid total joint replacements.
