ARTHROFIBROSIS
AND PROLOTHERAPY
We had a patient came in because they called another
Prolotherapy
office
and the
Prolotherapy doctor
didn’t want to treat their arthrofibrosis. Arthrofibrosis
is a term that can be broken down to ‘arthro’ meaning joint and
‘fibrosis’ meaning scarring; thus, arthrofibrosis means a joint is
full of scar tissue. In such a situation the person has a tremendous
decrease in range of motion of the joint(s) involved. In this
patient it involved the
fingers.
The real need is to prevent arthrofibrosis. Arthrofibrosis generally
starts as some joint stiffness and pain, while the person still has full
range of motion of the joint. In this situation often
Prolotherapy
is curative. So please, please, do not let that nagging
shoulder pain
of yours continue and wait until you can’t raise your arm above
your head to come for
Prolotherapy. If you do,the
Prolotherapy doctor
will tell you that you need
Prolotherapy
plus an aggressive course of
physiotherapy to release the scar tissue. Frozen
Shoulder
or arthrofibrosis of the shoulder generally starts as a simple
Rotator
Cuff
tear
or strain, but don’t be fooled, any minor injury can turn into a
nightmare if not treated correctly.
If a person has a totally solid joint, what we do at Caring Medical is
fill the joint with procaine and try to expand the joint from the inside. In the above scenario I had the client buy a paraffin bath which
only costs about $100. A couple of times per day she will put her
hands in the bath which will warm up her hands tremendously. Scar
tissue is much more pliable when it is warmed. She will then do her
best to break up the scar tissue. The
Neural Therapy
or procaine injections into the joint will also help stretch the
tissue.
What would I do if I had arthrofibrosis. See my local
Prolotherapy
doctor
and get an evaluation for an assessment. I would get the most
appropriate injection technique and do some aggressive physiotherapy.
