Abstract

Objective: The mechanisms behind muscle pain are somewhat understood, but identifying the exact cause and starting point of the pain remains challenging. Myalgia and pain in the musculoskeletal system can serve as indicators of various diseases and can lead to significant discomfort in daily life, making it crucial to accurately identify the cause, assess the intensity of the pain, and provide appropriate treatment. Case Reports: A Korean patient in her 50s who complained of discomfort in walking and at night due to myalgia. The patient underwent Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT) for approximately one week, using oral and topical preparations containing methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), magnesium, selenium, glucosamine, and Panax notoginseng. After the therapy, the degree of pain significantly improved, and after the treatment ended, the patient reported minimal discomfort, even when standing for long periods at work. Conclusion: In this case study, OCNT significantly improved muscle pain, which helps alleviate muscle inflammation and strengthen muscle function. While this case report is limited to a single patient, it suggests the significance of personalized OCNT for individuals.
