A comparison of ultrasound guided PRP injection and prolotherapy for mechanical dysfunction of the sacroiliac joint

Posted on jopadminPosted in Volume 10 : 2018

The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) can become dysfunctional through trauma and/ or pregnancy. The mechanism involves direct or repetitive microtrauma to the buttocks/ lower back. Treatment with specialised physiotherapy alleviates the problems in ~ 80% of cases. The remainder may respond to prolotherapy (hypertonic glucose injections into the dorsal intra-osseous ligament (DIOL) after multiple injections.

Sacroiliac 201: Dysfunction and Management A Biomechanical Solution

Posted on jopadminPosted in Richard L. Dontigny, PT, Volume 3 : Issue 2 : May 2011, Wonder Why?

By Richard L. Dontigny, PT ABSTRACT A commonly overlooked, reversible biomechanical vulnerability of the sacroiliac joints (SIJ) makes them subject to injury even through minor trauma. When the sacrum is loaded with the superincumbent weight, the pelvis is symmetrical and the line of gravity is posterior to the transverse acetabular axis, the pelvis has limited motion more »

Sacroiliac 101: Form and Function – A Biomechanical Study

Posted on jopadminPosted in Richard L. Dontigny, PT, Volume 3 : Issue 1 : February 2011, Wonder Why?

By Richard L. Dontigny, PT ABSTRACT The pelvis has been a puzzle that has consumed the greater part of my working life. The sacrum is the keystone of the puzzle, but does not function as a keystone. When the sacrum is loaded with the superincumbent weight and the joint is symmetrical, little or no movement has more »

Increase in Cross Sectional Area of the Iliolumbar Ligament using Prolotherapy Agents: An Ultrasonic Case Study

Posted on jopadminPosted in Ann Auburn, DO, Fantastic Findings, Roy Bechtel, PT, PhD, Scott Benjamin, PT, DScPT, Stacey Matthews, MS, PT, Volume 1 : Issue 3 : August 2009

By Ann Auburn, DO, Scott Benjamin, PT, DSCPT, Roy Bechtel, PT, PHD, & Stacey Matthews ABSTRACT Background Content: This case study examined the effects of a single Prolotherapy injection series on the left iliolumbar ligament. The ligament measurements were split between medial and lateral portions of the iliolumbar ligament and we hypothesized that growth would occur increasing the cross more »
