EXCERPTS:

 

Two of our referral physicians, Harold C. Walmer, D.O. (Elizabethtown, PA)

and W.W. Mittlestadt, M.D., D.O. (Ft. Lauderdale, FL), both now deceased,

brought to our attention another source of pain and structural problems not

often

recognized -- and a possible

solution for them which they called " Sclerotherapy. "

 

Later another referral physician, William J. Faber, D.O. mailed to the

Foundation interesting literature in a book, Pain, Pain Go Away, that he and

Morton Walker, D.P.M. had written. Later we also received Prolo Your Arthritis

Pain Away! by Ross A. Hauser, M.D. and Marion A. Hauser, M.S., R.D.; (see

_http://www.arthritistrust.org_ (http://www.arthritistrust.org) .)

 

The subject of Pain, Pain Go Away and Prolo Your Arthritis Pain Away! is the

damage and pain caused by stretched, torn or otherwise disturbed tendons and

ligaments. The treatment to restore proper functioning of these disturbed

tendons and ligaments is called " Sclerotherapy " by Osteopaths, " Proliferative

Therapy " by Medical Doctors and " Reconstructive Therapy " by Faber and Walker,

and some other physicians.

 

AND ALSO THIS

 

When should “proliferative†therapy be considered?

 

According to Faber, under the following conditions.

 

1. When ligaments are either lax or torn, then the ligaments can

be strengthened.

 

2. When any joint has pain lasting longer than six weeks. A

healthy body should be able to heal torn or lax ligaments within six

weeks. If joint pain persists beyond six weeks, it is an indication that

the body has not been able to handle it on its own and that the joint

is unstable from lax or torn ligaments.

 

3. Any joint that is helped by a support or brace. A brace or

support functions as ligaments do. That is, they function to stabilize

the joint. If a support brace helps, proliferative therapy is indicated as

it strengthens the ligaments, enabling the necessary support.

 

4. Any joint that fails to respond to manipulation or adjustments.

Many joint problems can be resolved with manipulations/adjustments

and often manipulation/adjustment is the treatment of choice. Manipulation

is highly effective when bones are out of alignment as a

result of bad posture or injury. When manipulation or adjustment

doesn’t provide lasting relief it is because the ligaments are lax or

torn and can’t hold the joint in place.

 

5. Any joint that is worse after surgery. When injured joint

spacers are removed in surgery (discs, cartilage) this causes the

ligaments to become lax. This laxity causes the joint to become

unstable and eventually form arthritis.

 

6. Any joint that is better with rest and worse with exercise. Rest

allows the body to heal itself and also reduces friction which is

caused by a torn or lax ligament in a weakened joint. Exercise of an

unstable joint makes it hurt more as it creates increased friction.

Because of the decreased blood supply in ligaments, rest alone is often

not sufficient for the body to heal itself. And, because ligaments and

tendons do not contain muscle fiber, exercise will not heal an injured

ligament or tendon.

 

7. Any popping, snapping or clicking joint. A joint that is

unstable snaps, clicks or pops. Proliferative therapy causes

strengthening of the ligaments and thus stabilizes the joint thus

eliminating the popping, snapping and/or clicking.

 

8. Any torn tendon or tendonitis that does not resolve after six

weeks. Tendons are like ligaments in that they are fibrous tissue and

they attach to the bone. They also have a lack of blood supply like

ligaments, and therefore have a poor healing ability. Proliferative

therapy causes a permanent strengthening of torn or lax tendons just

as it does for torn or lax ligaments

 

The treatment is taught only in a post-doctoral course, however, and it is

unlikely that the average family physician, or even that the average

osteopath, would know its benefits, or how to perform the tasks.

 

PLUS ALSO THIS

 

The therapy is safe, natural and effective in experienced hands. Lessening

of pain should result as well as strengthening of joints.

 

The treatment should be considered as an adjunct to other treatments for

Osteoarthritis, compression fractures, rotator cuff tears, unstable knees,

backs, neck, shoulders, hips, wrists and elbows that have been operated on

unsuccessfully, and certainly if possible,

to do this treatment before operations are even considered.

 

Reconstructive Therapy, or Proliferative therapy, or Sclerotherapy, as has

been stated, stimulates the body to repair itself.
