Abstract
Objective: This case report discusses the effective management of a full-thickness rotator cuff injury using Ayurvedic treatment modalities in a 65-year-old patient who declined surgical intervention.
Background: After sustaining an injury from an external impact, the patient experienced severe shoulder pain and reduced mobility. Clinical and radiological assessments confirmed a full-thickness supraspinatus tear.
Intervention: Opting for a non-surgical approach, the treatment plan included a series of Ayurvedic polyherbal formulations and topical applications along with a set of guided physical rehabilitation.
Results: Remarkably, the patient achieved complete symptomatic relief and regained full shoulder function within five months. This case underscores the potential of Ayurvedic medicine as an alternative and adjunct therapeutic strategy for managing rotator cuff injuries, advocating for broader research into its clinical applications and underlying therapeutic mechanisms in orthopedic ailments.
Conclusion: This case report demonstrates improved quality of care by integrating Ayurvedic therapies with rehabilitative exercise. This suggests a potential change in practice by incorporating complementary therapies like Ayurveda to manage rotator cuff injury.
期刊介绍：
Launched in 1995, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has a mission to promote the art and science of integrative medicine and a responsibility to improve public health. We strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical medical journalism independent of special interests that is timely, accurate, and a pleasure to read. We publish original, peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide health care providers with continuing education to promote health, prevent illness, and treat disease. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine was the first journal in this field to be indexed in the National Library of Medicine. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, ATHM had the highest impact factor ranking of any independently published peer-reviewed CAM journal in the United States—meaning that its research articles were cited more frequently than any other journal’s in the field.
Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine does not endorse any particular system or method but promotes the evaluation and appropriate use of all effective therapeutic approaches. Each issue contains a variety of disciplined inquiry methods, from case reports to original scientific research to systematic reviews. The editors encourage the integration of evidence-based emerging therapies with conventional medical practices by licensed health care providers in a way that promotes a comprehensive approach to health care that is focused on wellness, prevention, and healing. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine hopes to inform all licensed health care practitioners about developments in fields other than their own and to foster an ongoing debate about the scientific, clinical, historical, legal, political, and cultural issues that affect all of health care.
