Healing Chronic Injuries One Patch at a Time

Science, medicine and technology continue to evolve at lightning speed, which means many success stories and breakthroughs never appear in the media or appear for only a blink.

One such success story from the medical community is the WHITTE Patch from Wei Laboratories in Cupertino, Calif.  It is a herbal patch that increases blood flow to the injured area to:
·         Break up scar tissue
·         Improve  circulation to the joint
·         Increase lymph drainage away from the joint

Following is a story from a colleague of mine who used the WHITTE Patch to help a 28-year-old athlete with lumbar disc problems.

Patient History
A Division I college football player who was drafted into the NFL. His NFL career was cut short by a lower back injury which required lumbar disc surgery. He has had pain and disability for the past 3 years since the surgery. He has had minor temporary relief with pain medications, injections, physical therapy, and anti-inflammatory medications.

Before the WHITTE Patch treatment
Chronic lower back pain with left lower extremity sciatic pain and muscular weakness. Pain level on a daily basis initially was 6 - 7 on a scale of 1 - 10.  He had limited range of motion and experienced frequent muscular spasms in his lower back.

After the WHITTE Patch treatmentThe patient was treated with a combination of chiropractic adjustments and WHITEE patches.
Within 3 weeks, he experienced complete relief.  He stated that it had been the only real relief since the surgery.

He has returned to running, lifting weights and playing basketball. He has had several minor bouts of lower back pain after lifting weights and playing basketball, but those were relieved with a course of adjustments and herbal WHITTE patches.
