Herbal Treatment of Budging Disc, Stenosis and Osteoarthritis in the Cervical Spine
A 74-year-old female came to Rebecca Harmon's office with a chief complaint of neck stiffness and headaches found on the top of her head. MRI results indicated multilevel degenerative changes of the cervical spine at her lower neck. Results indicated moderate to severe neural foraminal stenosis found at the left C5-C6 level. Impingement of the exiting C6 nerve root is the most likely cause of neck stiffness and cause of headaches. In addition, there is an accentuated lordosis of the cervical spine, causing an increased sensation of numbness to her fingers due to nerve impingement. There is no evidence of cord compression and had an otherwise normal neurological exam. In addition, patient has also been diagnosed with Scoliosis, Bulging discs at multiple levels of the spine, Bunions, Osteoarthritis, Lower Back Pain, Neck/Shoulder Pain, Pain in Legs, Sciatic Pain, Stiffness/Limited Range of Motion in the upper back. Patient has been using 650 mg extended release acetaminophen for osteoarthritis pain relief, and over the counter migraine caplets containing acetaminophen, aspirin and caffeine. For preventative care and to address her osteoarthritis, the patient had also been taking the following supplements: Better Bones Builder which is an osteo support daily nutrient complex which contains 250 mg daily of vitamin K., Omega-3, Cranberry softgels, Vitamin C, D, B12, & Turmeric, probiotic. Patient has also had a history of both Shingles and Diverticulitis.

Unfortunately, pain has caused the patient to wake up throughout the night as well. Her days and evenings often consist of painful headaches and neck tightness. Emotionally patient has noticed an increase in anger, irritability and aggressiveness. This may in part be due to pain and lack of ability to get adequate rest. The patient is hoping to reduce her pain, decrease degeneration and improve her quality of life.

Patient was prescribed both internal and external herbs from Wei Laboratories to meet her goals. Brown, Xcel and KS were given to improve liver health, increase kidney function and reduce inflammation internally. WHITEE patches, applied topically, were used to decrease pain and inflammation in localized areas. In addition, WHITEE patches were also given to improve joint and spinal disc degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis, bulging disc or stenosis when used both short and long-term. LC Balancer was added in to enhance microcirculation and improve the benefits of the other herbs taken, including the WHITEE patches.

Patient started to notice a reduction of pain in both her headaches and neck pain within two weeks of using them. She had both a decrease in pain and a decrease in the occurrence with which she is also able to sleep better and has an improved mood. Patient likes to have the WHITEE patches on hand if there is a flare up with her headaches or neck pain. Overall, patient was happy with her results.
