Degenerative Disease of Cervical Spine, Pain

Clinical Case Study: Degenerative Cervical Spine Disease and Chronic Pain

This case study follows a 71-year-old female patient who presented with a complex clinical profile, including degenerative spinal disease of the cervical region, a chronic recurrent condition in the acute stage, cervico-brachialgia, and myotonic syndrome on the right side. At the time of her initial assessment, her pain level was rated at five to six points on the visual analog scale. Additionally, she was suffering from stage two periarthritis of the left shoulder and arthrosis of the right hip joint.

Patient Presentation and Symptoms

During her initial consultation, the patient reported constant aching in the cervical spine, with pain radiating into her left hand. She experienced significant restriction of movement in her left shoulder joint, rendering her unable to raise her arm. Furthermore, she reported periodic aching in her right arm and persistent pain in her right hip joint, which was particularly aggravated by movement.

The coMra Therapy Intervention

To address these conditions, the patient underwent a course of coMra therapy consisting of 12 treatments.

By the conclusion of the treatment course, the patient reported a significant improvement in her overall well-being. The chronic pain in her cervical area had ceased, and the pain in her left shoulder joint had decreased substantially, resulting in a much greater range of motion. Additionally, the pain in her right hip joint had resolved entirely. Beyond these physical improvements, the patient noted that her sleep patterns had returned to normal and her overall energy levels had increased.

Recommendations for Ongoing Care

Following the successful completion of the initial 12-treatment course, the patient was advised to repeat the coMra therapy protocol in three to four weeks. To maintain these results and support long-term recovery, it was recommended that she continue with maintenance sessions once per quarter throughout the year, as necessary.
