Cervical Spondylosis Pain Eased With Life Force Care

A former housekeeping staff, from a hospital visited our Thane clinic in February 2024 along with her daughter seeking treatment for her Cervical spondylosis from which she has been suffering for around 5 months. She had spent more than a decade working tirelessly in the hospital, but her body started to feel the impact of years of strenuous work, after 5 months of stopping her job. Vertigo, which had started as a mild inconvenience, became a daily struggle. Turning her neck brought on dizzy spells, accompanied by a dull, nagging pain at the nape of her neck. For three months, she coped with this discomfort, but in the last fifteen days, her vertigo episodes worsened, that’s when she started looking for safe treatment options and explored Life Force Homeopathy.

Her symptoms followed a particular pattern, a wave of heat surged through her body, followed by sweating and mild abdominal pain. Then, she felt as if the room would start spinning. On two occasions, she vomited, and her stomach twisted with nausea. The dizziness was especially bad in the evenings when she wasn’t working, and simple tasks like turning her neck became overwhelming. Lying down brought her some relief, but each morning, she awoke with her neck stiff for at least fifteen minutes.

This was not her first encounter with cervical spondylosis. Ten years earlier, she had been diagnosed with the condition but had chosen to avoid medication. Now, with her symptoms intensifying, she knew she needed help. Her family history weighed heavily on her mind too – her mother had battled cancer – and this added to her concern. Menopause, which she had reached twelve years ago, was another milestone that marked the changes in her body.

Her case was thoroughly evaluated and on examination, it was found that there were no neck movement restrictions, however, still, additional tests were needed, to determine the underlying cause.

On March 5, 2024, an X-ray of the Cervical spine was conducted which showed a straightened spine, a typical sign of muscle spasms linked to Cervical spondylosis. This confirmed her diagnosis and clarified the situation.

Her case was studied in detail and as per the case need Dr.Rajesh Shah prescribed the medicines individually specific to her. Along with homeopathic treatment, it was advised to start with supplements like Vitamin D and calcium to address the deficiencies that have been identified in her blood reports. Also, she was advised to do regular neck exercises to strengthen the neck muscles.

Follow-ups:

During her follow-up appointments, Mrs A.T. demonstrated steady progress in alleviating her symptoms.

On April 17, 2024, at her first follow-up, she reported that the intensity of her neck pain had decreased by 50%, and her episodes of vertigo had become much less frequent.

After two months she gave feedback over call and informed me her condition was getting further improved, there was further improvement in tingling in her neck and neck pain and had only one mild episode of vertigo, only when she overexerted herself or after reading books for long hours.

With continued treatment in July, she mentioned around 70% of improvement in her neck pain, with just only one episode of vertigo. But during this follow-up, she also mentioned experiencing heaviness in her head which lasted for about an hour, and also had mild leg pain which had started a week prior.

In her recent feedback dated 4th September 2024, she informed of a 90% recovery in her complaints. She didn’t have any vertigo episodes and also pain and tingling in her neck were completely better. The only complaint that remained is a sense of heaviness in her head, however, the intensity of heaviness in her head is mild and the frequency is also less compared to what she had earlier. She has been advised to continue with homeopathic treatment until she gets completely better.

This case shows how symptoms of Cervical spondylosis were alleviated in just eight months of treatment at Life Force Homeopathy, with significant reductions in vertigo, neck stiffness, and nausea, all without the use of conventional medicine.
