MRI, Herniated
Disc, Prolotherapy |
It is prudent for a patient to consider why he or she is
getting an MRI. If a patient wants to get surgery then go ahead and get an
MRI. There is almost no other reason to get one. MRI’s cannot tell a person
what is causing their pain, it only confirms what is known by the history and
physical examination. Does
Caring
Medical order MRIs, of course, but almost
never. Most
MRI findings have nothing to do with why the person has pain and
is thus the reason for most ‘failed surgery syndromes.’ Almost all people
even after surgery are not pain free. Surgery for pain in the best case
scenario should be done only after all of the conservative treatments have
been tried and failed. This includes
Prolotherapy!
Degenerated joints, including degenerated or
herniated
discs, signify
ligament laxity.
Ligament laxity or vertebral instabilities are the reason that discs
become degenerated. A
herniated disc by definition means the nucleus pulposis
(gelatin part of the disc) has herniated through the annulus fibrosis, which
is ligamentous tissue.
● Caring Medical has an 80%+ success rate of helping
people with acute and chronic disc
herniations and
degenerated discs resolve
their pain and disability without surgery.
For a person in relatively good
shape and
immune system function (good healing ability) the likelihood of success is
even higher. Prolotherapy by stimulating the ligaments to heal, helps the
vertebral segment become stabilized and thus eliminates the reason for the
degenerated discs.
The patient with an ‘MRI finding’ is at great risk for getting offered the
‘knife treatment.’ Once someone receives the ‘knife treatment’ the
anatomy in that particular region will never be the same. In
Arthroscopy

cartilage and
meniscal tissue
can accelerate the arthritic
process. Likewise, when a surgeon removes disc tissue the
segments above and below that area are at risk to undergo proliferative
arthritis.
