Treatment of Eagle Syndrome:

The Response of Modern Medicine
Ear and mouth pain is often associated with a variety of diagnoses, including otitis media, otitis externa, trigeminal neuralgia, atypical facial pain or temporomandibular joint syndrome. Treatment usually involves steroid and anti-inflammatory creams, drops and pills. The problem with this approach is that it does not do anything to strengthen the stylomandibular ligament and, thus, does not alleviate the chronic pain that people with this condition experience.

In the long run, treatments such as steroids and anti-inflammatory medications do more damage than good. Cortisone shots and anti-inflammatory drugs have been shown to produce short-term pain benefit, but both 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.

When all else fails, patients who experience chronic ear and mouth pain are usually referred to a surgeon. Unfortunately, surgery often makes the problem worse. Surgeons will use x-ray technology as a diagnostic tool, which does not always properly diagnose the pain source.

The Natural Medicine Approach to Eagle and Ernest Syndromes

Because Eagle and Ernest syndromes are caused by weakness in the stylomandibular ligament, a better treatment approach is to strengthen this ligament with Prolotherapy. Once it is strengthened, the chronic ear-mouth pain, tinnitus, dizziness, vertigo and other pain complaints subside. Chronic pain is most commonly due to tendon, cartilage and ligament damage or weakness. 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.

Prolotherapy offers the most curative results in treating chronic pain. It effectively eliminates pain because it attacks the source: the fibro-osseous junction, an area rich in sensory nerves. What's more, the tissue strengthening and pain relief stimulated by Prolotherapy is permanent!
