So how does being stabbed repeatedly with a needle help to stabilize the si joint? Wouldn't it just cause more scar tissue in the body in all of the places that are stuck with the needle? Wouldn't strengthening of the muscles around the si joint or whatever be better? Then the body could hold itself together, right?
@missanna208802 Good question. That is not the job of the muslces though. The ligaments are what hold the joint together, and muscles move the joint and then relax, move, relax. But when they need to do the job of a ligament, that's when problems like spasms begin. There is a lot of research available on Prolotherapy and its proposed mechanism of healing, but it the injections basically trigger the body's inflammatory helaing cascade and allows the body to strengthen collagen.
I'm a quadriplegic and the last month my left leg has been in continues spasm.
It's causing pain and wearing me out. Neither spasm meds seem to have much effect. 31 yrs paralyzed.
I need help.
