Abstract

Siddha system “Kumba vatham” correlated with the adhesive capsulitis in modern medicine. Adhesive capsulitis also known as frozen shoulder, an insidious painful condition of the shoulder persisting more than 3 months. This inflammatory condition that causes fibrosis of the glenohumeral joint capsule is accompanied by gradually progressive stiffness and significant restriction of range of motion.
