Ligament Laxity

Hi,

My Western Medicine trained doctor diagnosed me with ligament laxity after

mentioning my painful great toe clicks & pop's, BUT could not provide a

treatment! Does anybody know if alternative medicine has any tried and true

treatment to tighten up loose ligaments? I have lost faith in my chiropractor's

suggestion of warm pool therapy! Thanks for the help.

I'd use homeopathy. But ligaments are a special case. Ligaments are not

supposed to ever be stretched in length which I presume is the problem

here. Once stretched they do not shrink. However all normal tissue

replaces itself over time - and so what you need to do is to get those

ligaments supported in a position that is their normal length and not a

stretched one.

For example when my son's foot was bent in half after a 3 storey fall,

the ligaments were badly stretched and he had no foot arch in that foot

- which used to have a high arch. The foot was sort of misshapen due to

no ligaments the right way. It was a mess. The doctor said he'd have to

live with it.

I have long since learned that when a doctor says it can not be done or

there is no way, it only means *he* does not know how.

So we put the foot in a high top leather boot with a small arch

support, as a big one is painful if there is no natural arch. Every

month we added a thin layer of height to the arch support, and every

three months we bought new boots as they soon got pushed skew. Two years

later he had a normal arch and proper shape foot, in proper relation to

the ankle and pointing properly straight in front instead of splat and

out to the side. Today he can use it any way he likes.

That was before I learned homeopathy - which I have every reason to

think would speed the process.

You'd need a full time homeopath to select your exact match of

remedy, but I'd surely try that if I were you.

Namaste,

Irene

Actually, a cow stepped on it.

The yellow pages has nothing for homeopath's. Therefore, please provide more

details on a 'full time homeopath'. Our neighborhood chiropractor moonlight's

as a very limited homeopath, that deals with energy.

Thank you,

Most do not list in yellow pages - too much harassment from nut cases.

You can try the lists here, else let me know where you are located so I

can see who else I know of in the area:

http://www.homeopathy.org/directory.html

or this one:

http://homeopathy-cures.com/html/referrals_to_homeopaths.html

and try to stick to boldface names.

Namaste,

When I was young and stupid, I had horrible ankles from sprains from playing

football and handball. For a couple of years, it was like walking on ice all

the time. Any change of direction or uneven ground and either foot might

fold right over and reinjure itself if I wasn't careful. Nothing more

impressive

than being on a date and falling down like the scarecrow in Wizard of Oz. I

wore supporting boots a lot and stepped carefully. My feet eventually mended

good as new and my ligaments/tendons tightened back up. I would recommend

wearing shoes and/or socks that support your toe in the proper position.

Pardon my ignorance, and I know the suggestion was not for me, but what is

Prolotherapy?

Please click the following Hotlink:

Note: This therapy is an out of pocket expense and a good I.S. is a must!

Here is an explanation of prolotherapy:

http://www.gracermd.com/prolotherapy.htm. I found that with Google. I used to

work for a doctor that did prolotherapy. He used dextrose injections, I think.

The injection was apparently painful, but patients kept coming back because they

got so much relief from their chronic pain.
