Low
Back Pain Resolved With Prolotherapy
A 64 year old female, came to Caring Medical because of constant incapacitating low back pain she had been experiencing. She reportedly sustained a back injury while on vacation a couple of weeks prior to seeing us. She described the injury as her back “snapping.” Her pain level prior to initiating treatment was a 10 out of 10. She was taking narcotics for the pain, but she still was unable to function in her daily activities. She wanted to be able to care for and ride her horses, but she was unable to even bend over to care for them, let alone ride them. Interestingly, this patient was also taking immunosuppressive medications which were necessary because of a stem cell transplant.
We generally encourage patients to stop medications
such as prednisone, since they are anti-inflammatories and
immunosuppressives and would be contraindicated with Prolotherapy, since
the desired effect is inflammation and healing. |
