PROLOTHERAPY CAN PUT CURVE BACK INTO NECKS
A patient came in with severe muscle spasms in the neck. Her neck x-rays, which were taken by a chiropractor showed a straightening of the normal lordotic curve of the neck. She had received 120 manipulations to her neck and countless sessions of physical therapy. She probably spent $10,000 of her own money on previous care for her neck pain.

The patient's history was interesting in that she appeared to have muscle tension headaches initially. By the time she came to Caring Medical she was assessed as having Overmanipulation Syndrome. This conditions is actually caused by too much chiropractic manipulation. She now had severe ligament laxity in her neck with compensatory muscle spasm, resulting in the 'straight' neck.

The patient received six Prolotherapy sessions over the course of six months. She had a completely recovery of her neck pain. After the Prolotherapy, neck x-rays were taken which showed her lordotic curve had returned. The reason for this is a cessation of the cervical muscle spasms because of the repair in the ligaments that took place with Prolotherapy. Prolotherapy by tightening and repairing the ligaments, the muscles could now relax because the vertebral joints were stable.

There is no known cure for arthritis. Prolotherapy and nutritional supplements can help alleviate, reverse, or end arthritic pain by treating an underlying cause that contributes to degenerative disease, ligament laxity. Strengthening ligaments and other connective tissue can help prevent bone on bone arthritis from developing.
