Frozen shoulder, clinically known as adhesive capsulitis, is a debilitating condition characterized by the gradual onset of pain and stiffness in the shoulder joint. This ailment primarily affects the shoulder capsule, the connective tissue surrounding the shoulder joint, leading to a progressive loss of range of motion and functionality. Individuals with frozen shoulder often experience discomfort that intensifies over time, hindering their ability to perform daily activities and causing considerable distress. While the exact cause of frozen shoulder remains elusive, factors such as inflammation, injury, or prolonged immobility are thought to contribute to its development. Understanding the symptoms and seeking timely medical intervention are crucial for managing this condition and restoring optimal shoulder function.

Causes of Frozen Shoulders

Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, develops when the shoulder capsule thickens and tightens. Common causes include prolonged immobility due to injury or surgery, inflammatory conditions like arthritis, and diabetes. Other factors such as age, gender (more common in women), and certain medical conditions contribute to the risk. Understanding these causes is crucial for diagnosis and effective treatment. Physical therapy, gentle exercises, and addressing underlying conditions form the basis of management. Consultation with a healthcare professional can provide personalized insights for managing and preventing frozen shoulders.

Treatment

Ayurveda suggests the treatment for frozen shoulders in the following steps: Oleation, Swedana, Basti, and Nasya karma. Along with this Ayurveda recommends a combination of healthy diet and lifestyle changes that will help in the management of the condition and by avoiding the vitiation of doshas further. Massage therapy is also suggested to loosen up muscle strain and help in relief from pain.
