The Response of Modern Medicine
Since any type of groin pain is typically treated as a groin strain, modern medical treatment usually involves exercise, massage or manipulation. The problem with this approach is that it does nothing to repair the lax and/or injured ligaments of a pubic symphysis injury and, thus, does not alleviate the chronic pain that people with this condition experience. Chronic pain that does not respond to exercise, massage or manipulation is usually a ligament problem.
Another standard practice of modern medicine is to prescribe anti-inflammatory medications. However, in the long run, this does more damage than good. Although anti-inflammatory drugs have been shown to produce short-term pain benefit, they 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.
The Natural Medicine Approach to a Pubic Symphysis Injury Since unresolved chronic groin pain problems involve ligament laxity in the pubic symphysis joint, a better approach is to strengthen the joint with Prolotherapy. Injury in the area will also lead to ligament laxity and will benefit from Prolotherapy treatments to the pubic symphysis joint. Prolotherapy treatment is typically given to the back joint of the pelvic bone, the sacroiliac joint, as well because laxity or weakness in one usually implies laxity or weakness in the other. Unresolved back pain may also find relief with Prolotherapy as traditional treatment is usually done exclusively in the back, whereas the origin of this condition is located in the front. It should also be noted that Prolotherapy treatments in this area may also relieve unresolved abdominal or inner leg pain, which are part of the referral pain pattern of the ligaments involved.
Chronic pain is most commonly due to tendon and ligament weakness or cartilage deterioration. The safest and most effective natural medicine treatment for repairing tendon, ligament and cartilage damage is Prolotherapy. 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!
