Background – Avabahuka is a disease of Amsa Sandhi (shoulder joint) and it has been described under 80 types of Vata Vyadhi by Acharya Sushruta. It is a Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhi that affects the normal functioning of the upper limbs, thereby hindering an individual's daily routine. It primarily results from the vitiation of Vyana Vata, which localizes in the Amsa Sandhi (shoulder joint).

Aims and Objectives- This study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of the prescribed treatment protocol in disrupting the pathogenesis of Avabahuka. Materials and Methods – A 54-year-old male patient visited our OPD with complaints of inability to lift his left shoulder, accompanied by pain while raising the left upper limb and pain in the nape of the neck for the past one week.
