Cortisone
Shots
In my opinion, receiving a
cortisone shot
is one of the quickest ways to lose strength at the ligament-bone junction
(fibro-osseous junction). |
|
Cortisone Shots and
Prolotherapy
Athletes are primarily
given NSAIDS (nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs) and steroid injections
because it is the standard of care. Just because something is the standard
does not mean it is correct. Cortisone and other steroid shots are given to
athletes joints, especially the knees, when exercise and NSAIDs don’t
relieve the pain. In essence, they are given because the family physician,
team physician, or orthopedic surgeon has no more treatment options. |
|
Why Not Get A Cortisone Injection?
“My doctor wants to give me a
cortisone shot. What do you think?” “Cortisone helped me
before, why shouldn’t I get another shot?” “Is
Prolotherapy going to
hurt like a cortisone shot?"” The questions go on and on.
The mighty cortisone shot has its supporters, but they are
rapidly declining.
