Ayurvedic Treatment for Frozen Shoulder in Indore
Apabahuka (frozen shoulder) care in Vijay Nagar, Indore — Agnikarma with Snehan and Swedan; typically 5–6 sittings in suitable cases.
- Agnikarma + Snehan/Swedan
- Typically 5–6 sittings
- Day-1 honesty
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.
