NECK INJURY

Chronic Neck Sprains
Caller: I wake up in the morning with really bad
neck pain, the pain is on the sides of my neck and I can’t turn my head right or left. I have tried different sleeping positions, different pillows, but that doesn’t help.

Dr. Darrow: Typically when someone describes this type of pain, it is usually a sprain of the neck muscles that attached to the bone. Something people live with, sometimes all their lives, but it is something that can be easily fixed with
Prolotherapy. We put a needle right into that spot, where the muscles attach to the bone. The Prolotherapy injections thicken up the tissue, it stimulates the body naturally to produce more Collagen and makes a better connection (like spot welding) of the muscle to the bone. Very often the pain goes away.

Caller: Is it a big needle?

Dr. Darrow: No, it is a very small needle and we use an anesthetic before hand so you don’t feel anything.

Most people who think they are going to have a problem with needles don’t. I hear it all the time from “first timers,” they say, “I am afraid of needles” but when they have their treatment they do just fine and they come back for more treatment!
