Back and Pelvic Injuries
Injury to the back or pelvis is one of the top reasons our patients say they had to quit playing sports. Unfortunately, many of the traditional treatments for back pain are just as much to blame for the person still being in pain. Often by the time a patient comes to Caring Medical, they have been to numerous other practitioners and tried NSAID medication, nerve blocks, acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments, and even other types of Prolotherapy. One primary reason patients requests to be seen at Caring Medical for back and pelvic injuries is the comprehensive Prolotherapy treatments we practice here.
Prolotherapy physician and Medical Director, Ross Hauser, MD, has been utilizing Prolotherapy full time since 1993. He has successfully treated back and pelvic pain in thousands of patients. It is actually one of the most common body areas we treat with Prolotherapy. We believe that to properly treat low back or pelvic pain, the whole area needs to be treated, not just a few Prolotherapy injections. Especially in cases of sports trauma, patients typically find better relief faster from a method such as the Hackett-Hemwall Prolotherapy technique, as practiced at Caring Medical. In addition to comprehensive Prolotherapy, we work to rehabilitate the whole athlete. This may include getting involved with improving a patients nutritional status or exercise regimen. Overall, we are very successful with treating patients for back and pelvic pain and get them back into their sport without surgery, without medications, and without extended time off!
As a 5-time Ironman, marathoner, long-distance cyclist, and swimmer, Dr. Hauser is just as passionate as our patients about athletics. He has also sustained numerous sports injuries himself, including back and pelvic injuries, which were treated successfully with Prolotherapy. Our athlete patients are motivated to travel to our Chicago land clinic for Prolotherapy is to be treated by a physician who truly understands their passion for sports. In our experience, a comprehensive Prolotherapy program is the preferred way to treat back and pelvic pain for optimal long term results. If you want to know if you are a candidate for Prolotherapy treatment, want a second opinion on a recommended surgery, or are just not ready to retire from the sport you love, we would love to see you for a consultation.
