Abstract

Objective: Calcific tendinitis is a type of acute inflammation that occurs in the tendons, characterized by the deposition of calcium crystals within the tendon, leading to pain and swelling. This condition primarily affects individuals between their 30s and 60s and can occur at any tendon attachment site in the body. Early treatment of calcific tendinitis is crucial, and while various procedures and surgeries can be used when conservative treatments fail, they carry a high risk of complications. Case Report: Case Report: The subject of this case study was a woman in her 30s diagnosed with calcific tendinitis who underwent Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT) for approximately two weeks. The patient experienced stiffness in her fingers due to pain and swelling. She was prescribed polyphenols, fructooligosaccharides, bromelain, linolenic acid, MSM, calcium, magnesium, and vitamins C, D, E, and K. As a result, the patient reported a visible improvement in the swelling and condition of her fingers, along with a reduction in pain. Conclusion: This case study confirmed an improvement in the patient's calcific tendinitis symptoms. The findings suggest that prescribing OCNT tailored to the patient's condition and symptoms played a crucial role. However, as this study involves a single patient, its applicability to other tendinitis cases is limited. Therefore, further research is required to validate these results.
