Tendon Injury
Complete Healing of a Torn Bicep
Diane Jones, Northborough, MA 01532, October 2016
A 72 y.o. male patient came to Diane for a torn bicep. He played golf all the time, the injury happened while he was playing golf. The tear wasn’t a complete tear, which was a little over 2 inches long and 1/4 inch wide, which one could see just by looking at his arm. His MD recommended immobilization therapy.
His wife referred him to Diane. Diane immediately treated him according to Wei Musculoskeletal Institute protocol and prescribed 6 consecutive sessions of treatment. After he finished the 6th session, the tear was gone! He could no longer see it, he couldn’t even find it with palpitation either!* He asked Diane if he can play golf again. Diane gave him a guideline of how to ease back into golf: if he can hit one bucket of golf balls and feel no pain afterward, he should be able to get back to playing regularly. The patient was completely cured and now plays golf all the time!*

Successful Healing Process of 7mm Tear in Tendon
Shawn Pallotti, DC, King George, VA 22485 United States
A 45-year-old migrant worker had been exposed to very hard physical labor over many years. He came with a 7mm tear in his tendon muscle junction which had been diagnosed based on an MRI. The orthopedic had suggested surgery. The patient, however, did not have time due to the workload on the farm. His entire right side had been dysfunctional.
Dr. Pallotti applied two sessions of the herbal treatment, one month each session (to make it affordable). He also worked on his soft tissue based on two pro adjusters (two mechanical guns which introduce mechanical force to hit any abnormality in the tissues as well as any swelling and fixation). In addition, adjustments at C7 and the T1 rib have been applied.
The patient had seen great improvement as the pain level continuously decreased. *

Tendonitis
Elimination of Plantar Fasciitis Pain
Kathy Thomas, LAC. Stuart, Florida 34997, United States. January 2019
Upon intake, a 56-year-old female patient presented with plantar fasciitis, an overactive bladder, tooth and gum problems, menopausal symptoms, a sweet tooth, anxiety, and fatigue. The patient often had floaters in her eyes. Her biggest complaint was very painful plantar fasciitis in her left foot. The patient was an avid tennis player and hoped to get back to her sport.
Kathy Thomas decided that the plantar fasciitis protocol from Wei Musculoskeletal Institute (WMI) would be her best road to a full recovery. The patient agreed to see Dr. Thomas twice a week for acupuncture and to immediately begin the WMI herbal treatment for her liver and kidney yin deficiency.
The patient was advised to alternate between medium size WMI herbal patches for tendon and medium-size WMI herbal patches for joint every two days with a day off in between. The WMI herbal patches for tendon were used to heal the tissue injury, and the WMI herbal patches for joint were used to heal the degenerative cartilage injury.
She was also put on a regimen of WMI oral herbal formulas including the liver yin herbal formula, kidney herbal formula, pituitary gland herbal formula, and the lung qi herbal formula. The liver yin herbal formula helps improve liver health and repair liver damage. The kidney herbal formula helps enhance microcirculation by improving microcapillary structure. The pituitary gland herbal formula enhances the blood supply to the pituitary gland and helps improve its structure and function. The lung qi herbal formula helps improve adrenal gland and kidney function and helps with the kidney’s filtration and balancing of minerals. These herbs, in addition to acupuncture, reduced her pain from a 10 to a 4 in two weeks.
The patient continued to take Internal Formula B in the morning through the rest of the month.
Upon a follow-up call, Dr. Thomas learned the pain had completely subsided and the patient is again playing tennis. She was very pleased with her results.*

Successful Treatment of 25 Soccer Players Against Acute Tendon Apathy
Marco Cazares, DC, Indio, CA 92201 United States
The following study presents a clinical review of 25 patients (soccer players) with lower extremity tendinopathy. Of this sample, 14 patients were seen for acute medial collateral tendonitis. 6 patients came for acute deltoid ligament strains (Great 1 to Great 2). The remaining 5 patients suffered from knee patella tendonitis associated with the Osgood Shatter syndrome. A review of all patients yielded the following common symptoms:
1. tenderness,
2. joint effusion and edema,
3. Decreased joint motion by at least 40%,
4. Pain with active motion and weight bearing.
Based on the radiologic findings 95% of the injuries (with the exception of three cases) proved to be normal. Positive cases revealed avulsion fractures with non-displacement.
All 25 cases have been submitted to a trial therapy using ice packs and taping orthotic support. Every patient of the sample was prescribed with the herbal treatment. No other physical therapy was performed.
All 25 patients obtained very good to excellent responses (after the first week of trial). For more than 86% of the patients, two sessions of the herbal treatment were sufficient for an almost total resolution of the symptoms). * 24% of the sample required four sessions of the herbal treatment to obtain the same response. * It is noted that the use of herbal treatment of acute tendinopathy is a promising treatment protocol for all physicians who encounter this condition. A larger group trial should be performed.

Successful Resolution of Rotator Cuff Syndrome
Jack Kucheran, DC. Calgary, AB, Canada. February 2011
A male patient, age 66, came for treatment in August 2010. She suffered from shoulder arthritis in her right arm. Further diagnoses identified the rotator cuff syndrome in general and the calcific tendinosis of the rotator cuff in particular (could not lift arm above shoulder level). The patient incurred a severe pain level (8 out of 10) as well as a restricted range of motion. His pain would not allow him to receive continued sleep at night. He could not use his right arm at work.
Dr. Kucheran applied a combined treatment program composed of chiropractic adjustments on the cervical spine as well as transverse frictional massages, active relief on the right shoulder and electro laser acupuncture. At the end of the program WMI herbal patch for tendon was prescribed and applied for one week. The complete treatment lasted for a total of six months (2-3 sessions for the first three months, once a week for the last three months).
The results have been very positive. The pain level was reduced by 70% at first. The range of motion improved greatly. The application of the herbal patch for tendon at the end removed the remaining pain and provided the patient with a full range of motion. The patient has been very happy ever since.*

Chronic Tendonitis
Completely Healing of Tendonitis in 1 Week
Christy L. Constantin, D.C., The Woodlands, Texas, January 2005
This is the narrative of the practitioner:
“My experience with herbal musculoskeletal treatment solutions has been very positive each time I’ve used them, either with myself or my patients. My husband and I have been building our own home for the past year, so have been prone to multiple overuse and sprain/strain type injuries. I had used the herbal treatment solutions primarily as a last resort when I’ve been unable to resolve the particular injury myself. I’ve used them for a hamstring strain (refused to resolve after 3 months of treatment), wrist extension tendonitis (3 times!), AC joint sprain and rotator cuff tendonitis. In all cases, resolution was accomplished after the 2nd or 3rd session of the herbal treatment. * The injuries were often to the point that I was barely able to function (especially the wrist extension tendonitis and resultant wrist or finger pain) before using the herbal treatment. The pain was detectably diminished after even just the first session. * I’ve also used the herbal treatment successfully on several chronic, non-resolving rotator cuff tendonitis patients, and it has resolved their pain successfully each time. *”
