Arachnoiditis is one of many conditions typically diagnosed, using MRI or CAT scans, in someone who has undergone back surgery. While back surgery invariably leads to scar tissue, it does little to relieve the severe back pain experienced with arachnoiditis. The result is that eventually the scar tissue will be identified on the scans, and surgery will be repeated. The problem with this approach is that while the scar tissue was not there before the surgery, the back and leg pain were. The surgery does nothing to repair the sacroiliacligament and, thus, does not alleviate the chronic pain that people with this condition experience.
Another standard practice of traditional medicine is epidural steroid injections. However, in the long run, these treatments do more damage than good. Cortisone shots have been shown to produce short-term pain benefit, but result in long-term loss of function and even more chronic pain by actually inhibiting the healing process of soft tissues and accelerating cartilage degeneration. Plus, long-term use of these drugs can lead to other sources of chronic pain,allergies and leaky gut syndrome. Spinal cord stimulator implantation is another traditional practice of modern medicine, but with limited results.
Caring Medical's Alternative Approach to Arachnoiditis A better approach, in our opinion, is to stimulate ligament repair with Prolotherapy. Prolotherapy treatments to the weakened structures such as the sacroiliac ligaments causing the pain of arachnoiditis will cure the condition and alleviate the pain. Once the weakened structure in the back becomes strong, the pain stops. Prolotherapy is the safest and most effective natural medicine treatment for repairing tendon, ligament and cartilage damage. In simple terms, Prolotherapy stimulates the body to repair painful areas. It does so by inducing a mild inflammatory reaction in the weakened ligaments and cartilage. Since the body heals by inflammation, Prolotherapy stimulates healing.
