A lot of cases of elbow pain is due to joint instability due to weakened or sprained ligaments. This usually presents itself as tenderness along the ligament and tendon attachments of the elbow joint.
The pain can even radiate down the forearm into the wrist, leading some people to believe they have developed carpal tunnel syndrome.
These symptoms can be signs of the following elbow pain conditions caused by elbow instability which are commonly treat with Prolozone therapy.
If the movement in the elbow joint is too much, it is likely that pain will appear. This is when patients have being diagnosed with joint instability.
Why is the joint unstable? Because the support structures, the ligaments and tendons, have been stretched and have become weakened.
In about 80% of chronic elbow pain, a sprain of the annular ligament is the cause of the pain. This ligament is rarely examined by a family physician or an orthopedic surgeon.
Tennis elbow is also known as lateral epicondylitis and is commonly treated with cortisone injections in traditional medicine.
Unfortunately, cortisone tends to weaken tissue, whereas Prolozone therapy strengthens tissue.
Cortisone usually also provides temporary pain relief whereby Prolozone therapy tends to have permanent effects.
Repetitive use of cortisone will usually permanently weaken tissue. Anyone receiving long-term prednisone or cortisone injections can usually confirm this fact.
If medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow) or lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) is causing elbow pain, the muscles that attach to these areas are attempting to repair themselves, causing inflammation. Prolozone therapy helps strengthen these muscle attachments is very effective in eliminating chronic elbow pain.
Annular ligament and radial collateral ligament injuries are frequent causes of chronic elbow pain. The good news is that these are effectively treated with Prolozone therapy.
Back or muscle strains can be the most common form of back pain, these can occur in a number of different ways. For example, sports injuries, incorrect posture when sitting for long periods of time, or when lifting. General wear and tear from an ageing spine can be a common cause, while more severe injuries to the back may occur as a result of a trauma from an accident, or perhaps as a result of back surgery.
Exercises are a fantastic way to strengthen muscles that support the spine, facilitate effective circulation and increase the flexibility of your body. Depending on the severity of a patient’s condition, exercises should be introduced into a treatment plan only when pain levels have decreased to a point where range of motion is not severely compromised. For example, if a patient is unable to put on a coat without feeling back pain, they may not feel confident to perform an exercise such as a lank. As a guideline, ProBack’s practitioners introduce gentle exercises into a treatment plan after the first six to twelve treatment sessions have been completed, although many will be ready to begin light exercises before this point.
The most common causes of lower back pain can often be as a result of a disc problem, for example Degenerative Disc Disease or a slipped disc. It is also possible to have muscle strains in the lower back area of the spine, this can be as a result of a sports injury or a result of having incorrect posture when doing everyday activities such as sitting for long periods of time or lifting.
Once the underlying cause of your back pain has been identified, we can discuss the degree to which we believe your condition can be corrected. Our aim at ProBack is to help to solve the problem as much as we can in the long run. With regular treatment and closely monitored spinal remodeling, we can help your condition to be as manageable as possible.
