Prolotherapy Following Hip Replacement
| < Back to Prolotherapy Article Index |
Q. I have several friends who have had a hip replacement (THR) or a hip resurfacing. That has helped with the walking and getting around, but my friends still complain about groin pain. Is it possible to have prolo following hip surgery?
A. Many people who have continued pain after a surgery benefit from Prolotherapy. The reasoning is simple, the surgery did not address whatever pain remains. In other words, something besides the hip is causing the continued groin pain. This could be a referral pain pattern from the pubis, lower back or tendon/ligaments that go to the greater trochanter (side of the hip). My advice, tell her orthopedist of course and get an opinion from a Prolotherapist.
