CONSERVATIVE MANAGEMENT OF OSTEOPHYTIC GROWTH OF THE ELBOW JOINT WITH CONSTITUTIONAL HOMEOPATHY: A CLINICAL CASE FROM DR BATRA’S HOMEOPATHY CLINIC

Abstract

Osteophytes are bony projections that develop along the edges of joints, commonly associated with degenerative joint disease, mechanical stress, and metabolic disturbances. These bony outgrowths may cause pain, restricted movement, swelling, and functional impairment. This case report describes a patient who developed osteophytic growth in the left elbow joint associated with pain and swelling severe enough that orthopedic surgeons advised surgical removal. The patient sought homeopathic consultation before undergoing surgery. Based on classical homeopathic analysis, gradual reduction in pain and swelling was observed. The growth remained arrested without further progression, and the patient experienced significant functional improvement in daily activities. Surgical intervention was avoided. This case highlights the role of individualized homeopathic treatment in managing osteophytic growth conservatively. The patient experienced symptomatic relief and stabilization of the condition, demonstrating a meaningful clinical transformation achieved at Dr Batra’s Homeopathy Clinic.
