What Is Ehlers Danlos?
10. Treatment
Ehlers Danlos syndrome cannot be cured as far as we know. Treatment for the condition involves helping to manage the patient’s symptoms so they don’t have too much of a negative impact on the patient’s life. This can mean regular moisturizing to help prevent the skin from breaking, and straps that can help prevent dislocations and other injuries.
Patients will also need to undergo physical therapy to help strengthen their muscles as this will also help to strengthen their joints. In cases where injuries have occurred, surgery may be necessary to help repair the injury. The patient will also likely need to be careful in choosing their activities to help keep them safe from serious injury.
