Objective: Osteoarthritis is one of the most common disorders affecting the entire joint. It occurs due to the degeneration of cartilage, which reduces joint friction and distributes weight. However, recent studies have shown that various factors, such as inflammation and metabolic changes, also contribute to the onset of osteoarthritis in a complex manner. Osteoarthritis presents symptoms such as pain and swelling, which may vary slightly depending on the affected area. Therefore, it is essential to assess the location and severity of the condition to decide on the appropriate treatment, which can include lifestyle modifications, dietary and pharmacological interventions, exercise, and surgical procedures. Case Report: This case study involved a Korean male in his 60s who was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the knee, ankle, and shoulder joints, which significantly interfered with his daily and occupational activities. He had been receiving treatment, but it was limited to symptomatic therapies and non-conservative procedures such as repeated synovial fluid drainage from the knee. The patient had even been recommended for surgery by his attending hospital. Accordingly, Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT) consisting of anthocyanins, omega-3 fatty acids, methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), collagen, and calcium was administered. After approximately six months of OCNT, the patient showed significant improvement in overall pain levels, and his symptoms improved to the extent that he was able to resume regular daily and occupational activities. Conclusion: OCNT led to a notable reduction in osteoarthritis-related pain and swelling experienced by the patient. Although the findings are limited to a single case, the OCNT regimen—prescribed with consideration of the patient’s specific condition—appears to have made a meaningful contribution to symptom relief and the patient’s return to normal daily life.
