- Ross Hauser, MD and Danielle Matias, PA-C discuss our approach to treating thoracic spine instability and scoliosis pain. Thoracic instability can have both direct and indirect indicators and tends to be under-diagnosed in a traditional medicine setting. While Prolotherapy may not be the first treatment people think of when it comes to scoliosis, it can be helpful for the pain coming from the overstretched ligaments, especially when used in conjunction with other treatments that focus on the spinal alignment.

Hey, I’m Georg and about 3 years ago I injured my voice while singing. For about 2 years I haven’t been able to talk without pain and swelling feeling at all so I’ve not talked at all. I’ve consulted with my doctors and they’ve told me to exercise speaking regularly even if there’s pain but I want to spread my story to get second opinions.
I used to sing a lot for several years before my injury. Some days even about 3 hours a day. Went to singing school sometimes, learn a bit of the (CVT vocal technique)
One evening, I started to sing and my voice was not that great that day and I also drank a milk product before what causes my throat to produce a lot of mucus and thick feeling.
I tried to sing one high note, but I couldn't reach it, so I squeezed my neck and vocal chords to get that high note and that’s how I injured my voice.
From that day on my vocal injury has gone worse to the point that for 2 years now, I haven’t been speaking at all. Just a couple of words in one year.
The reason for it is now when I speak, my vocal chords and thyroid area get “swollen” and painful(nerve pinching pain).
I put swollen in brackets, because I’ve been to a laryngoscope and the camera didn’t detect any swelling in my vocal chords when they looked at it. And also they didn’t find anything other than couple of granulomas(not on the vocal chords) which could have been caused by some food intolerance.
The vocal chords were just weak and atrophied.
Going back to 2021 when I firstly injured my voice.
The symptoms then were similar, there was the swelling feeling, and nerve pain.
(it’s really weird to me that there was no swelling detected on camera, because when I get the swelling feeling, my whole throat feels so swollen. I even got a thyroid ultrasound, but nothing was detected there)
So back then, basically I still could use my voice after the injury. So I had to not speak for a couple of weeks and then the swelling feeling went away.
And I could practice again and talk.
But as time went on. The swelling came back and back. I gave it more and more rest, to make the swelling go away.(one doctor back then even said that don’t stop speaking, but for me it didn’t make sense cause my throat felt so swollen and nerve pinching pain was quite bad).
So I gave it more and more rest and as the time went on, about a year from the injury, I could only speak about 20 minutes a day.
And it was difficult to avoid the swelling feeling and pain away, so I gave it more and more rest, until it became so bad that last year I couldn’t even laugh and this swelling feeling came back.
It has since got minimally better now, but still I can only laugh about 5 times a day or less.
My question is, if I start to practice again and ignore the swelling feeling in my throat and the nerve pain, would it injure me even more.
That’s what I’m worried about.
If someone told me that “100%, you will not injure your voice more when practicing through the pain”, then I would start.
The last doctor said exactly that, but I needed to get a second opinion somewhere else, because I’m scared to injure my vocal chords even worse, to the point that I could lose my vocal chords forever.
Thank you for reading it the whole way through and I would love to hear your opinion! Thank you in advance! :)

How long would you wear the brace for post treatment?
Everyone is different!
Good day, caring medical. I've watched tons of your videos. I have forward head posture & it is severe. I see that your treatment protocol is prolotherapy first & then after a while, cervical curve correction with weights. In South Africa, prolotherapy isn't accessible / available here. I am very concerned about my neck. If I just did curve correction - as this is what is available for me- would that be sufficient for healing my cervical instability?I just want my health & life back!
This is a great question! First, it is wonderful that you are looking into alternatives! Secondly, it really depends on the severity of your instability. Sometimes individuals just need curve corrections while others just need Prolotherapy and sometimes they need both. This is not something that we can determine over the internet but curve correction might be a good place to start if you have a poor curve
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy God bless you all!! Thanks sooo much for replying! It takes a lot of courage to even write to you. All the years, I had No warning signs such as head or neck pain which means I only went for x-rays like a month ago! It has however affected my mental health & made me anhedonic & given me mild depression. The thing that pushed me to seek help is the small (quite small) bullseye rashes throughout my body. So I'm suspecting it's lyme disease& as I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few yrs back & from my research that is a comorbity of lyme. My reason for sharing this about myself is so that others experiencing neck issues can know that it gives u psychiatric symptoms too! Something I would've never thought of had it not been for caring medical! (when Dr hauser said forwd head posture causes Anhedonia, that was a light bulb moment for me)!! Keep praying & doing research Everyone, don't give up Ever!! . And Caring medical, Please Keep doing what you're doing for humanity!! 🙏 It took a lot out of me to write this (mentally) but I'm pushing this msg out! Sending Lotsa love ♥️
My son has scoliosis in his thoracic spine and pectus excavatum. Could this be caused from instability in his thoracic spine?
It could be, this could be determined by running diagnostic testing, we’d love to see him in our office!
