1. Introduction
This case report documents the treatment journey of Ms. Smriti Mora, a 35-year-old female patient presenting with fibromyalgia, cervical spondylosis, and lumbar spondylosis, managed through naturopathic treatments, yoga, and lifestyle modifications.The focus of this report is to detail her baseline symptoms, diagnostic findings, treatment approach at SLNS Nature Cure, and the improvements observed in her clinical biomarkers and overall health.
2. Patient Information
Patient Name: Smriti Mora
Age/Gender: 35 years, Female
The primary concern was fibromyalgia since 6 months, characterized by persistent generalized muscle stiffness, with pronounced discomfort around the shoulder blade region. This condition often amplifies sensitivity to pain, leading to widespread discomfort and fatigue. Additionally, cervical spondylosis compounded the challenges, causing radiating pain that extended from the left shoulder down to the thumb, index, and ring fingers since 6 months. This nerve-related discomfort likely resulted from degenerative changes in the cervical spine, causing compression or irritation of the nerves serving the arm and hand. Lumbar spondylosis further contributed to the patient’s distress, presenting as radiating pain from the lower back to the knee since 6 months. These symptoms are indicative of nerve root involvement in the lumbar spine, often exacerbated by spinal degeneration and inflammation.
3. Medication History:
| S.No | Medication | After Treatment | Mechanism |
| 1 | Ibuprofen and diclofenac 100mg 1-0-1 | Tapered | Non-selective COX inhibitors |
| 2 | Pregabalin 75mg 0-0-1 | Reduced to 25mg | GABA carrying an isobutyl substitutent at the beta-position. |
Ibuprofen and diclofenac 100mg 1-0-1 – Non-selective COX inhibitors which helps reduce pain and inflammation, Pregabalin 0-0-1 helps reduce nerve pain and improves sleep.
4. Naturopathic and Lifestyle Interventions
Naturopathic therapies: Yoga exercises to improve flexibility and reduce muscle stiffness.
Lifestyle modifications: To support long-term health improvements.
5. Results and Follow up:
The health improvements are reflected in key biomarker changes that contribute to enhanced well-being. WBC levels decreased from 11.62 to 10.8 cells/cu.mm, indicating a reduction in inflammation and supporting anti-aging effects by promoting better cellular health. Vitamin D levels saw a significant rise from 16.12 to 122 ng/mL, improving homeostasis, boosting calcium absorption, and supporting stronger bones. Vitamin K levels also improved, rising from 0.11 to 0.13 mcg, enhancing blood clotting, tissue repair, and overall healing. HS-CRP, a marker of inflammation, decreased from 6.72 to 2.16 mg/dL, reflecting a reduction in inflammation and oxidative stress, which plays a role in slowing the aging process. Lastly, Testosterone levels were reduced from 65.22 to 22.01 ng/dL, aiding in hormone balance and helping prevent abnormal hair growth in private areas for women, further supporting hormonal health. These biomarker improvements highlight a positive shift toward overall health and well-being.
- Weight Loss: Patient reported a weight loss of approximately 3 kg.
- Energy Levels: Significant improvement in energy and general well-being was noted.
6. Discussion
The case of Ms. Smriti Mora highlights the benefits of integrative naturopathic approaches in managing chronic musculoskeletal conditions like fibromyalgia and spondylosis. The improvements in inflammation markers, vitamin levels, and hormone balance underscore the potential of these therapies to address underlying physiological imbalances and enhance patient quality of life.
7. Conclusion
This case illustrates that naturopathic and lifestyle-based interventions can be highly effective in managing fibromyalgia and spondylosis symptoms, achieving reductions in inflammation and improvements in overall health. Through a focused and personalized therapeutic approach, significant improvements were achieved in managing these conditions.
Fibromyalgia-related muscle stiffness and discomfort reduced notably, improved overall flexibility and energy levels. The radiating pain from cervical spondylosis, which previously extended to the hand, was alleviated, restoring comfort and functionality in the upper body. Similarly, lumbar spondylosis symptoms, including radiating lower back pain to the knee, were significantly mitigated, enhancing mobility and reducing physical limitations.
The patient reported a marked improvement in their quality of life, with reduced pain and greater ease of movement. This case highlights the effectiveness of a targeted, holistic approach in addressing chronic musculoskeletal conditions, enabling patients to regain control of their health and well-being.g core health issues with a personalized and patient-centered approach.ng diabetes.
