Lis
franc injury
Ross Hauser, M.D., a leading
Prolotherapy doctor
receives many emails every day from atheletes looking for
answers to their injuries. Here is one he and the emailer is
sharing.
"I am a 400 meter sprinter for the University (X-removed to
protect her privacy. I have suffered from a lis-franc
injury to my right foot in high school playing football. I
was unable to run or play football for 13 months after the
2008 season. I came back to run my final races of my senior
year of high school and now I run in college. Due to the
injury my foot now pronates quite bad, although I have gone
through almost 12 months of ligament and arch strengthening,
it has become a lot stronger, yet still have some pronation
requires me to wear custom orthotics in my walking shoes
(yet to find some for my running shoes). After trying almost
everything for my shins (ionto, icing, active release, etc.)
I have found minimal relief. I have developed more severe
posterior
shin splints and pain in peroneal muscles from the
increase training adjustment from high school to college and
only made it through the indoor season before having to red
shirt my outdoor season because the pain became un bearable.
I have been suggested that prolotherapy might be able to
help in alleviating the pain by a family friend who is a
bio-chemist/doctor. I was wondering what kinds of options
there are in the treatment and if I could find a good doctor
in my general location."
Dear runner
- I suspect you are a very fast runner, but I
also suspect I can run farther than you. I recently ran 60
miles (yes, all in one day!). As you know the Lis Franc
joint is the tarsometatarsal joint of the foot. When runners
come in with a history like yours, they almost always have
some type of joint instability in the foot. This would
basically explain all your symptoms. You probably have had
joint instability in your foot (perhaps at the
tarsometatarsal joints or some other joint in the foot or
ankle) for some time. As you know, most joint instabilities
stem from ligament injuries. The problem with ligament
injuries is that you cannot exercise them to repair. You
need to give
Prolotherapy
to the ligaments to stimulate
their repair. I would strongly urge you to come to Caring
Medical and have me evaluate you and most likely give you
Prolotherapy
treatments to the areas on your foot and ankle that are
unstable. So in summation it sounds like you have joint
instability in your foot for which you need Prolotherapy.

Prolotherapy Risks
There is no known cure for arthritis.
Prolotherapy
and nutritional supplements can help
alleviate, reverse, or end arthritic pain by
treating an underlying cause that
contributes to degenerative disease,
ligament laxity. Strengthening ligaments and
other connective tissue can help prevent
bone on bone arthritis from developing.
