Abstract
Avabahuk is a disorder described under Vatavyadhi in Ayurveda and can be clinically correlated with frozen shoulder due to the close similarity in signs and symptoms. Shoulder pain is commonly reported, accounting for approximately 16–26% of cases, and it is the third most common cause for musculoskeletal consultations in clinical practice. Frozen shoulder is characterised by severe pain, marked restriction of shoulder movements, and a progressive reduction in both active and passive range of motion.
In contemporary medical practice, treatment usually includes anti-inflammatory analgesics, specific shoulder exercises, and local application of pain-relieving ointments. However, these interventions often provide only limited or temporary relief, and satisfactory outcomes are not consistently achieved.
Case Report- A 50-year-old male patient presented with complaints of painful and restricted movements of the left shoulder joint, accompanied by neck pain and reduced strength in the right hand.
Conclusion- The patient was diagnosed with Avabahuk (frozen shoulder) and managed with Panchakarma therapies along with oral herbal medications. Following treatment, significant improvement was observed in both subjective symptoms and objective clinical parameters, indicating the effectiveness of the Ayurvedic approach in managing this condition.
