What Is EDS Disease?
10. Physical Therapy
In addition to medication, EDS disease patients will also likely be prescribed physical therapy, which will benefit the patient in a number of ways. Stronger muscles will help to fortify joints, making dislocations and other injuries less likely. Braces may also be used to further prevent dislocations from happening.
Many patients with EDS disease will still pick up injuries regardless. This can mean that surgery is necessary to help repair injuries. As mentioned, vascular type EDS disease can cause organs and blood vessels to become ruptured, and this will also likely need surgery. The patient will also need to make certain lifestyle decisions to help reduce the risk of injuries.
