Guest guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hello, for years I have had problems with the structure of my neck. Also, my pelvic hip area is twisted and rotated slightly. My left leg quad muscles also go numb and my lower back is weak. Left leg is functionally short compared to the right leg. Chiropractic adjustments do not seem to hold long. I had osteopenia in the past and recently learned it is now osteoporosis. I just started on hormones to help this problem. Is there anything else that can help other than chiropractic adjustments or should I just wait to see what the hormones do. My chriopractor mentioned massage but it cost to much for how long it lasts. Another doctor mentioned lax ligaments as a possibility but I do not know if that is the problem or not. Thanks, Christie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Intraneural Injections for Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis AND The Control of Pain in Arthritis in the Knee This foundation has long advocated the use of both prolo therapy (proliferative, sclero-, reconstructive therapy) as well as intraneural injections. Our founding health professionals, including Dr. Pybus, initially believed that the two therapies could not be administered simultaneously as prolo therapy acted by creating inflammation in specific positions while intraneural therapy acted to dampen inflammation in specific positions. http://www.arthritistrust.org/Books/IntraneuralInjections.pdf Sclerotherapy, Proliferative Therapy, Reconstructive Therapy: Treatment of First Choice for Osteoarthritis and for Other Arthritic-like Pain http://www.arthritistrust.org/Articles/Sclerotherapy%20--%20Prolo%20Therapy.pdf Treatment and Prevention of Osteoporosis Supplement to The Art of Getting Well. Most of the calcium preparations that are touted through news media do not work on many women, mainly because for the most part they are calcium carbonate or some calcium compound of equal difficulty to absorb. According to Pizzarno and Murray's Textbook of Natural Medicine2, " Recently there has been an incredible push for supplementing calcium in an effort to halt bone loss. While this appears to be sound medical advice, osteoporosis is much more than a lack of dietary calcium. It is a complex condition involving hormonal, lifestyle, nutritional, and environmental factors. " According to William Campbell Douglass1, M.D., as reported in " Death, Taxes and Osteoporosis " , over forty percent of women over [the age of] fifty produce less stomach acid than normal. Without stomach acid, calcium carbonate, and like compounds, cannot be utilized. Therefore they do not solve the osteoporotic problem. http://www.arthritistrust.org/Articles/OsteoporosisPreventionAndTreatment.pdf http://www.arthritistrust.org/Articles/Treatment%20 & %20Prevention%20of%20Osteopo\ rosis.pdf Arthritics and Osteoporosis Anthony di Fabio http://www.arthritistrust.org/Articles/Arthritics%20And%20Osteoporosis.pdf OSTEOARTHRITIS: LITTLE KNOWN TREATMENTS by ANTHONY DI FABIO AND PAUL JACONELLO, M.D. Osteoarthritis involves loss of joint cartilage, death of cells beneath the cartilage and also cartilage and bone proliferation at the joint margins with bony growth formations. Osteoarthritis often includes inflammation of the tissue around the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) surrounding joints -- which would otherwise be subject to friction without these sacs -- and tendon sheaths (synovium). As Osteoarthritis appears to be caused by a combination of factors -- hormonal deficiencies, faulty nutrition, stress, deficient enzymes -- each of these should be attended to. More accurately, each individual's problem must be studied and evaluated for characteristic uniqueness, that breakthrough treatment modality. http://www.arthritistrust.org/Articles/Osteoarthritis%20Little%20Known%20Treatme\ nts.pdf This is a good website.
