Periarthritis Shoulder is common in people who are middle-aged or older. As shoulder joint is the most mobile joint in the body making it vulnerable to problems, ultimately leading to restricted shoulder movements. A 67 years old male patient diagnosed with Avabahuka (Adhesive capsulitis), managed with MARMA CHIKITSA. After completion of the treatment, pain, swelling, tenderness and restricted movement of the humero-glenoid joint were reduced. As the signs and symptoms of this disease are not mentioned in Ayurvedic classics, specific treatment protocols and formulations cannot be given. The selection of drugs may differ from case to case. The treatment plan followed in this study may be adopted in future cases changing the selection of drugs based upon the necessity to obtain good results.Keywords: Marma Chikitsa, Periarthritis Shoulder, Avabahuka, Frozen shoulder.
