The most useful therapy for ligaments and tendons that have been stretched or torn is Prolotherapy. This wonderful therapy is discussed in the treatment section of your report.
If ligaments do not heal within several weeks, they may remain chronically stretched, torn, or weakened. We generally assume that soft tissue injuries will heal or that the damage can’t be that bad. While ligament pain may be confined to the injury site, it can also refer pain to distant body parts through sympathetic nerves of the autonomic nervous system.
As the primary function of ligaments are to connect bones to bones, if a ligament is stretched, or torn, then too much movement between the bones may occur. This extra movement is sometimes perceived as a popping, clicking, catching, or feeling of weakness between the bones. Muscles may then respond by going into spasm in an effort to tighten the loose area. Muscle stretching at this point may offer only temporary relief.
Muscle strengthening exercises may also be prescribed, but really, the tendon needs to be strengthened directly for things to come into balance and harmony again. Surgery is sometimes required, but Prolotherapy should be tried first unless the tendon is completely severed.
