What Is Hypermobility Syndrome?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
9. Medical Treatment
Treating hypermobility syndrome largely involves treating the symptoms that are caused by the condition. Many patients will be experiencing pain and this can be treated with the help of pain killers. It is advisable to be cautious when using painkillers, however, because some can result in an addiction.
Other medical treatments can involve therapy, which will aim to increase the patient’s muscle strength and their coordination. More muscle strength also means that the patient is less likely to experience dislocations. Physical therapy can be hard work for the patient, but it can make considerable improvements so it is well worth the effort.
