Trigger Finger and Arthritis Healed with
Prolotherapy
David came to Caring Medical a few months ago from one of the local
Chicago suburbs about 20 miles away to have
Dr. Hauser evaluate the pain
he experienced in both of his hands. He had been battling pain for over
ten years with no relief. He had tried various rounds of
cortisone shots and was told he needed surgery to his hands.
At 81 years of age he was having trouble gripping objects and had pain
when golfing, cutting the grass, and any activity that required grasping
and gripping. David loved to play golf and feared that surgery would
keep him from playing. David wanted to try
Prolotherapy a try to see if
he could get back to doing the things he loved to do!
During his
first visit David told us that he had pain in various fingers on
both hands, particularly the ring
finger on the left and the index and
middle fingers on the right, but all of his fingers caused some
pain.
Dr. Hauser diagnosed the pain in the individual fingers as
trigger finger and
arthritis in the others. He told David the
average number of treatments required would like be three to six,
and then treated David’s hands with a
Prolotherapy solution specialized
for trigger-finger. Dr. Hauser told David to come back in one month for
a second treatment.
Fortunately David never needed a second
visit! After ten years of pain, he was healed with just one treatment!
We spoke to David four months after his original treatment and learned
that he was doing great. His trigger finger and
arthritis pain were gone
in both hands and he was back to his golf game. He was able to grip
objects and golf as often as he pleased with no pain at all. He was very
happy with his results and started to spread the word about all that Prolotherapy can do for
chronic pain.
As we told David, the average number of
Prolotherapy treatments needed for an injury is three to six. We do,
however, have some patients that require less and some that require more
treatments. The best news is that we have a high success rate for
healing injuries.
