EHLERS DANLOS SYNDROME
TREATMENTS |
|
|
Medical therapy rests on managing the
symptoms and trying to prevent complications; Ehlers Danlos Syndrome cannot be cured.
Braces may be prescribed to stabilize joints, although surgery is
sometimes necessary to repair joint damage caused by repeated
dislocations. Physical therapy teaches individuals how to strengthen
muscles around joints and prevent or limit damage.
Alternative treatment
There are anecdotal reports that large daily doses (1–4 grams) of
vitamin C help decrease bruising and aid in wound healing. An
individual with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome should double check this type of therapy with a
physician. Therapy that doesn't require medical consultation
involves protecting the skin with sun screen and avoiding activities
that place stress on the joints. Constitutional homeopathic
treatment may be helpful in maintaining optimal health in persons
with a diagnosis of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. |
