Most sports involve quite a bit of jarring of the head and neck. Any excessive rotation of the cervical vertebrae has the potential to affect the sympathetic nervous system outflow from the ganglion.

The vertebral instability or malalignment occurs because the
ligaments that support the neck become injured. This is what occurs in the commonly known whiplash injury. Not only do neck and headache pain occur with whiplash injury, but also the signs and symptoms of Barre-Lieou Syndrome.

A Non-Drug, Non-Surgical Treatment Option-Prolotherapy

Research by Daniel Kayfetz, M.D.
Daniel Kayfetz, M.D., reported treating 189 patients from March 1956 through May 1961, with Prolotherapy, who had whiplash injuries to their necks. Fifty-two percent had associated sympathetic nervous system symptoms as seen in Barre-Lieou Syndrome, 55 percent of the people had symptoms longer than three months, 81 percent had symptoms and injuries in other parts of the body in addition to the neck, and 49 percent had some kind of legal action because of an auto accident they were involved in (79 percent were involved in auto accidents). By all practical purposes these were not simple cases of neck strain, yet Prolotherapy totally eliminated the pain in 60 percent of the patients, and 86 percent of the patients considered the end result to be satisfactory (in other words they had pain relief with the Prolotherapy).9

Prolotherapy is a treatment that stimulates that body to heal the painful area. This is the best definition of Prolotherapy. Read it again, changed just slightly. Prolotherapy is a treatment that stimulates the body to repair the painful areas.

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.
