Shoulder pain / Frozen shoulder

Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) and shoulder pain are treated with Ayurvedic therapies that reduce inflammation, break adhesions, and restore full range of motion.

Shoulder Pain & Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder involves progressive stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint, severely limiting arm movement. It typically develops gradually over months and can last 1-3 years without treatment.

Ayurvedic Understanding

Frozen shoulder (Apabahuka) is a Vata-Kapha disorder. Vata causes pain and stiffness while Kapha causes the adhesions that freeze the joint. Treatment addresses both imbalances.

Treatment Protocol

We use Navarakizhi (rice bolus massage), Pichu (warm oil-soaked cloth application), joint mobilisation with medicated oils, internal herbs, and progressive stretching exercises to restore shoulder function.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Ayurvedic treatment for frozen shoulder take?
With consistent treatment, significant improvement is seen within 4-8 weeks. Complete recovery typically takes 3-6 months depending on the stage when treatment begins.
Can I do exercises during frozen shoulder treatment?
Yes, gentle guided exercises are an essential part of treatment. We teach specific stretches and movements to be performed daily alongside Ayurvedic therapies.
