Cervical spondylitis treated with Homeopathy

A case of 37 years old female patient who came to us with severe pain in the cervical region (neck) .The pain started on the left side and radiates to the arm and the forearm. Along with this the patient also experiences tingling and numbness in the arm. Now the complaints have started on the right arm too.

The complaints are aggravated by
• Raising the hand upwards
• Lifting heavy things
• In Sleep

The complaints are ameliorated by massage and pressure. Besides this there is stiffness of the fingers in the morning which becomes bearable after some movement.The patient also had lot of hair fall and it falls in bunches. She said the texture of the hair has also changed in the past few years.

She said she has lot of tensions and is anxious about the future. She feels who will take care of them when they grow old .She has a daughter and she is very attached to her she becomes anxious if she goes out or doesn’t come home on time. There are lot of negative thoughts about accident and marked fear of death.

Due to this anxiety she saves her money and if her husband spends money she becomes very angry. Due to this the relation with her in-laws are strained as her father in law spends lot of money which she doesn’t like at all even though he earns his own money.

Relations with her husband are very good but since the last 3-4 years she feels neglected in the family. All these things she cannot express it to anybody so there is lot of internal anger. She feels since marriage she has become very sad.

She cannot trust anybody and is very suspicious by nature. Emotionally she is very sensitive if somebody says something wrong she cannot forget it easily. When she is angry she prefers to stay alone but she will always express her anger. If somebody tries to console her she doesn’t like it .Revengeful feeling is there but she never takes revenge.

As a child she was the youngest in the family and was a pampered child she got whatever she wanted. She is scared of water, snakes, and dogs. She had a emotional shock when her sister passed away due to cancer. Even now he misses her.

What we observed was that the lady was wearing over sized clothes. When we asked why she was wearing so loose clothes she said she feels very uncomfortable if she wears tight clothes. She removes her earrings, bangles and chain while sleeping otherwise she feels suffocated this was the case history that we got.

Role of Homeopathy

Homeopathy can be the answer to your long standing PMS symptoms. Have you ever wondered how you can get rid of the PMS symptoms which you have to bear every month?

Homeopathy provides the solution for your PMS symptoms for which you have to give the complete case history. We have to understand the minutest details of your Mind, Body and the spiritual side of your being.

You may wonder how these details are going to help. As we are well aware that our body works as a unit; when we are in a diseased state we say “Iam not feeling well” do we say? “My Lungs are sick or my liver is sick”; the answer is “No”. So the medicine which is given should be based on considering how your constitution is and according to it you should get the medicine. That is exactly how homeopathy works we take into consideration all the aspects of your constitution and then prescribe the medicine.

Let us consider this case of lady it was a case of Bronchial asthma which the patient was suffering from many years. Now you might be thinking what is link between PMS and asthma please read the case further. We took the case in details and after analysis and evaluation gave her the constitutional remedy. The patient reported at the follow up that she was feeling much better over all.

We asked her in what way you felt better? She said her asthmatic attacks were better. The interesting part she told later she said doctor I used to have tremendous suicidal thoughts, Anger without any reason she used to fight with her husband for no reason, there was heaviness in the breast and causeless weeping before her menstrual cycle. She said all these symptoms have disappeared and I have not told you about these symptoms during my case history. Then how is it that they have disappeared is it because of the medicines for asthma?

This is the beauty of homeopathy we explained her that when we give the constitutional medicine it just sets the imbalanced state of the person into a balanced and harmonious state as it was when she was in a healthy state. It does so as the Homeopathic medicines act at the Psycho neuro endocrinal axis. Once the imbalance is corrected all the other functions get back to their harmonious state. So even if you forget to tell certain symptoms those issues will also be taken care of; so please give all the details even the stupidest thing might help in coming to the right medicine.

We are interested in knowing what makes you different from others so we can find the right constitutional medicine. Homeopathic medicines are non toxic, effective, evidence based and safe medicines which act in a rapid and gentle way. We are committed in bringing health to you and making a healthy harmonious world.
