Diagnosis Visit for Joint Hypermobility / Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
Diagnosis visits are 1 hour long and include evaluation for postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), cranial cervical instability (CCI), and fascia pathology. The evaluation for hypermobile EDS is based on the 2017 diagnostic criteria for hypermobile EDS revised by the International EDS Consortium in 2017.
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is heterogeneous group of heritable connective tissue disorders. It is characterized by joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility. For most of these subtypes, mutations had been identified in collagen-encoding genes, or in genes encoding collagen-modifying enzymes. The International EDS Consortium revised the EDS classification to 13 subtypes - each with a set of clinical criteria. The diagnosis of the hypermobile subtype relies on the clinical criteria.

Prolotherapy is a non-surgical injection procedure used to treat connective tissue injuries of the musculoskeletal system that have not healed by rest or conservative therapy.
Prolotherapy is treatment method for loose or injured ligaments. It uses the body’s natural ability to heal ligaments and muscles to reform healthy tissue without scar tissue. A dextrose solution is injected directly into the ligament and causes a mild inflammatory reaction. This signals the body to lay down thicker and stronger tissue which helps to relieve chronic pain. This therapy is best suited for chronic myofascial pain seen commonly in dancers, musicians, and repetitive motion.
