Bulging Discs
Q. Prolotherapy works on my back and hip but my neck is still a challenge. However I get relief from my neck pain for about 3-8 weeks so it is worth it for me to get the tune ups. I have 2 bulging discs. Whenever I go to the chiropractor it gives me immediate relief for 2 days and then the pain returns with a vengeance! It even feels like a bone is protruding in my neck. I am trying very hard not to use chiropractic anymore but sometimes I can't turn my neck without it. Neurosurgeon told me I am not a candidate for surgery because I don't have symptoms of nerve damage.
A. You case is typical of the cases that recur. Your continued manipulation in your neck is most likely the reason you are not getting cured with the Prolotherapy. You should also look at the ways you ‘hold’ your neck or activities you are doing that could be breaking down the tissue that is being repaired with Prolotherapy. Do you have a forward head posture? Do you sit at the computer for 8 hours per day? There is a reason you are not getting cured of your neck pain with Prolotherapy. I have given you several. You may want to get an evaluation by a 2nd Prolotherapist!
