This email received by Caring Medical in Oak Park, IL describes what many people are facing. They feel hopeless, discouraged, broke, and at the end of their ropes. Here at Journal of Prolotherapy, we are trying to get the word out – that there IS hope – and that hope is found in Prolotherapy. You need not live a life of chronic pain, stronger pain medications, loss of work, inability to exercise, and the like…
Take a look at this email from a potential patient writing to Ross Hauser, MD, Medical Director of Caring Medical in Oak Park, IL:
Dear Dr. Hauser,
My life has been a nightmare since 2001. I used to run, play racquetball three times a week and weight train regularly. Some type of injury happened to me in 2001 in which I had severe groin, adductor and hamstring pain. I have had so many different doctors tell me it is hopeless to repair whatever structural damage has been done. Over these past several years I can barely exercise much at all as this brings constant pain to the hamstring adductor area. I have gained over 30 pounds of body fat and life is just miserable at this point.
I had sports hernia surgery 18 months ago in hopes of eliminating some of the symptoms. This was not the solution at all. I started to recover slightly and then as soon as I began vigorous workouts the pain and problems returned.
After reading some of your information I am suspecting I may have the hamstring tendinopothy at the attachment point of the hamstring to the glute and bone area slightly inside the inner thigh under the buttock of the left side.
I am currently working with a physical therapist for the I don’t know how many times it has been.
Is there any way the therapist and I can pinpoint if this is the exact problem?
Life without exercise is almost unbearable. I need help…
Best Regards,
TJ in Wi
Yes, TJ – there is hope – and that hope is Prolotherapy. Unfortunately, physical therapy and exercise is not going to cure the underlying problem – which is most likely ligament weakness and instability. The only treatment we know to cure that is PROLOTHERAPY – using the Hackett-Hemwall method. Patients are seen every 4-6 weeks for on average of 3-6 visits.
