Joint braces and musculoskeletal taping | May help stabilize joints |
Biofeedback to improve posture | Improve joint symptoms and proprioception |
Osteopathic manipulative treatment | Reduce joint pain, improve proprioception, increase blood flow. Avoid treatment more than 3 times per week due to potential for increasing joint laxity. |
Prolotherapy | Injections in the tendon or ligamentous attachment can trigger a brief inflammatory response and subsequent reparative cascade to generate new collagen and strengthening the relaxed connective tissue. May also reduce pain from increased joint stability. |
TENS unit | May be helpful for muscle pain |
Compressive clothing | Compression stockings may help combat orthostatic intolerance and tachycardia. Compression garments may help support loose joints and provide additional proprioceptive input. |
Orthotic shoe inserts | May improve underlying proprioceptive abnormalities, improve ankle/foot/knee alignment, reduce joint pain and risk of sprains or other injuries. |
Exercise40 | Core and joint stabilization. Caution with activities that can cause overstretching like yoga or gymnastics. Closed kinetic chain exercises (like biking or elliptical trainer). Care to avoid overtraining.
