Do you have chronic shoulder pain? Prolotherapy under ultrasound guidance is an effective treatment for chronic rotator cuff injuries. Prolotherapy is a regenerative therapy that uses small amounts of sugar solution injected at the site of injury to heal the chronically injured tissue. Give us a shout if you're interested in finding out whether you'd be a candidate for the therapy. 250-494-9496 http://spokesclinic.com/prolotherapy-and-prp/... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28215611

Fibromyalgia is probably my favourite non-diagnosis. Fibromyalgia is the label you get when your doctors don't know what to do with you and you have tender points that match up with the image attached. It's a syndrome thought to be because of problems in the muscles or in your brains ability to perceive or modulate pain signals. Symptoms include chronic "muscle" pain, fatigue, sleep problems, and painful tender points or trigger points. The reason conventional treatment (medi...cations like antidepressants, counselling, stress management, etc) are so underwhelming is that they do not address the problem. Every one of those sore spots on the picture corresponds to a place where the nerves that innervate your skin pop through the fascia (connective tissue) or over a bone. If there is pressure on the nerve at that point it will swell on either side of the fascia and lock itself in place. It will then start painfully limiting your range of motion (nerves don't stretch) and start churning out neurogenic inflammation (different than other types of inflammation) which results in more pain sensitivity in the whole area supplied by that nerve. These chronic constriction injuries (as they're called) respond very well and very quickly to what is called "hydrodissection" or injecting a small amount of mild sugar solution akin to saline to open up the constrictions from the inside. Pain relief is usually within about 30 seconds. http://www.spokesclinic.com
