Sacroiliac Pain After Six Prolotherapy Sessions
| < Back to Prolotherapy Article Index |
Q. At what point-after, say, 6+ Prolotherapy treatments by an experienced Prolotherapist does one begin to consider SI (sacroiliac) joint fixation/fusion? I am seeing some progress in terms of frequency of recurrent sublixation of the joint, but am still in a considerable amount of pain. I know that experiences are different, but at what point do we say that this is as good as it can get with prolo?
A. Prolotherapy is extremely successful at curing sacroiliac pain and subluxations. Generally when I see a patient that has gone somewhere else and had a lot of Prolotherapy and the condition has not responded it is because of one of these factors:
1. The solution used was not strong enough.
2. The treatments were not thorough enough.
3. The person is doing something in between visits to loosen the sacroiliac joint again (the most obvious one would be manipulations).
Having said all that I believe I have sent 2-3 people (out of say 1,000+) with sacroiliac problems for fusion.
