Ayurvedic Treatments for Frozen Shoulder


It is a ball & socket joint and in this condition the joint capsule bounds the shoulder joint & becomes tight & form adhesions of scar tissue in this condition. This can result in pain, weakness & immobilization in the shoulders. Panchakarma Treatment is very powerful for Frozen Shoulder. It is a condition which affects the shoulder joint and results in restriction of movement in the Shoulder joint.


Causes:


Frozen shoulder occurs when the capsule that surrounds the shoulder joint becomes swollen and congealed. It’s uncertain why this occurs. The shoulder is a ball and socket joint. The end of your upper arm bone sits in contact with the socket of your shoulder blade. The shoulder capsule is fully stretched when you raise your arm above your head and hangs down as a small pouch when your arm is lowered. In frozen shoulder, bands of scar tissue from inside the shoulder capsule, causing it to thicken, swell and tighten. This means there is less space for your upper arm bone in the joint, which limits movements.


Sign & Symptoms:

 Area of motion is reduced.
 Numbness in hands & fingers is observed.
 Crushing or burning sensation during any motion of the shoulder.
·        Discomfort, Weakness & loss of mobility.
