Calcaneal spurs, alopecia areata 03560...India
A 50-year-old man was suffering from painful bone outgrowths in his heels (calcaneal spurs) for five years since 2018. There was one spur in each heel measuring about 18 mm. The pain had gradually worsened leading to walking difficulty and causing a noticeable limp. Conservative methods such as custom orthopedic footwear, cold packs, and foot exercises were ineffective. He took prescribed painkillers - both oral and topical. These provided about 80% relief for 6 to 8 hours after which pain would return. A high-profile cricket player, he was eventually forced to give up the sport; this took a toll on his mental well-being. In 2023, doctors recommended cortisone injections and surgery which he declined and began exploring alternative therapies in search of a lasting relief.
For over a year, he also had a patch of hair loss on his beard (alopecia areata), gradually spreading over his chin and jawline. Ayurvedic oils and topical medication for over nine months, offered no noticeable improvement. He stopped all medications and turned to vibrionics. On 16 May 2023 he was given:
For calcaneal spur:
#1. CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic + CC20.1 SMJ tonic + CC20.4 Muscles & Supportive tissue…TDS
For alopecia areata:
#2. CC11.2 Hair problems + CC12.4 Autoimmune diseases + CC21.1 Skin tonic…TDS and for external application in coconut oil…BD
Treatment progress:
- 10 Aug 2023: 40% improvement in pain; hair-loss arrested.
- 5 Oct 2023: 60% improvement in pain and mobility; growth of hair started on affected areas.
- 4 Jan 2024: Over 95% reduction in pain, spur size began to decrease, mobility returned to normal and pain only after intense physical strain, #1 reduced to BD; 70% hair growth on chin and jawline.
- 14 Apr 2024: Complete resolution of pain, spur size decreased to 2 to 3 mm, resumed playing cricket normally; full hair growth. Dosage of both remedies reduced to OD, #1 stopped on 30 Apr 2024 and #2 after three months.
As of May 2025 there has been no recurrence although spur size has not decreased further.
Practitioner’s note: Heel spur is not considered curable without surgery, it is remarkable spur size has decreased substantially within a year; could have disappeared but the patient was keen to discontinue the remedy saying he had no discomfort.
