Lower Back Pain-prolotherapy? Posted: 01-20-04 21:55pm
I fell at work in july'03 have been
diagnosed with sacrum joint strain/sprain.
I have had physical therapy(no help),
steroid injections(2-day relief),been to
chiro,been to pain mgt., now ortho sp..
Now he has suggested prolotherapy. Has
anyone heard of this or had this done?
Did it work ? It sounds like it might, I
looked it up on google with lots of
results, but I still have lots of
questions about it. The Dr. Is saying if
I don't do this prolo thing that it is the
last thing to try for ligament injury and
my comp case will be closed.
Please give your opinions. Ty

Hi! Your pain sounds so much like mine,
and I would love to try this. I read from
another board, and so many have benefited
from it. So much. Of course, some
didn't, but they were none the worse off
and glad they tried. So, are you saying
your workers comp will pay for this????
I'm wc, too, and I just assumed they
wouldn't, since most insurance companies
don't. People, esp w/ si joint/sacral
pain, spend hundreds and hundreds of
dollars on it. Please try it, esp if
someone is paying! I would be the first
one in line.

Prolotherapy For Sacroiliac Joint Problem Posted: 03-28-04 14:43pm
I'm doing reasonably well with hands on
physical therapy and water exercises for
this problem, but if it doesn't continue
helping and leave me feeling well for
prolonged periods, i'm going to try
prolotherapy. There are no risks
involved.
You don't want to let the problem go on
without effort to correct as it will cause
more problems..Lumbar.
There is a specialist in atlanta allan
lippett, who has written studies on it and
when all else fails there is a surgery for
it. A minimally invasive one and a major
one...So,
hands on pt
water exercises
prolotherapy with simultaneous pt
surgery
