When we will not treat this as primary

Not every stiff shoulder is Apabahuka — and not every case is Panchakarma-first

Acute injury, dislocation, fever with a hot joint, or progressive neurological deficit needs a medical or surgical opinion first. Day 1 decides whether this stiff shoulder is a suitable Agnikarma case. The 5–6 sitting target applies only to cases that fit — it is a clinical target, not a promise for every frozen shoulder.

Who this page is for

Frozen shoulder is a painful, progressively stiff shoulder that limits reaching, dressing and sleep. Ayurveda knows it as Apabahuka, a Vata disorder of the shoulder joint. It can take many months to settle on its own.

This page is for people in Indore seeking the clinic's named protocol — not a generic oil-therapy course. Suitability is decided on day 1.

Protocol at this clinic

The protocol is Agnikarma with Snehan and Swedan (massage and fomentation). That is the lead. Extra therapies are not added around it.

  • Agnikarma — controlled therapeutic heat at the indicated points
  • Snehan + Swedan — oleation and fomentation (massage)

Sittings

For suitable cases the clinical target is complete relief in 5–6 sittings. That target is for presentations that fit after examination. Sitting counts are typical, not promised.

Day-1 assessment

On the first consult the physician examines the shoulder and tells you whether this protocol can help this case as a primary plan, only support it, or whether a medical opinion should come first.

Honest expectations

The aim is less pain and a usable range of movement. Complete relief in 5–6 sittings is a target for suitable cases, not a result we can promise every shoulder.

The Ayurvedic approach

A considered, step-by-step process

How a frozen-shoulder course is run once day 1 has confirmed that this protocol fits.

  1. 1

    Day-1 consultation

    Examination of the shoulder and an honest verdict on whether Agnikarma with Snehan–Swedan is the right primary plan.

  2. 2

    Agnikarma

    Controlled therapeutic heat at the points the physician marks — the lead therapy for this presentation.

  3. 3

    Snehan and Swedan

    Oleation and fomentation of the shoulder, sitting by sitting, to support the Agnikarma.

  4. 4

    Review over 5–6 sittings

    Progress is reviewed across the typical band. If this is not the right route, you are told so rather than stretched into an open-ended course.
