I have a torn labrum in my
shoulder
Q. I've had surgery on my
supraspinatus and physical/massage therapy. I still
seem to have an
impingement around the coracoid area of my shoulder, according
to my therapist. Would the labrum have anything to do with the impingement. I've
ruled out vertebral issues and there is no impingement to the brachial plexus.
Thanks for your input.
A. Typically we find that people who have chronic shoulders issues have
laxity
in their
glenohumeral joint.
Because the main shoulder
joint is not solid or stable because of
ligament injury, the laxity
causes a pinching on structures in the joint such as the
rotator cuff tendons
and glenoid labrum. These types of injuries and mechanics are easily treated
with Prolotherapy. Athletes only can generate power if their muscles can
contract against joints that are very stable. Joints where there is excessive
movement will cause the muscles to loose power. This is one of the main
reasons why athletic performance goes down with injury.
Prolotherapy to the shoulder
There is no power there
even if during weight lifting the muscles have a lot of power. In other words a
pitcher might note that the amount of weight they can lift has stayed the same
but when they throw a pitch their speed has decreased from 92 mph to 85. I can
tell you as well as them that in the pros they are going to get rocked if their
fast ball is only 85. Bottom line is you need Prolotherapy.

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.
