Shoulder ailments are quite common. Frozen shoulder that is also called Peri-arthritis of the shoulder is an ill-understood disorder characterized by a uniform limitation of all shoulder-movements.

Frozen Shoulder, or `Adhesive Capsulitis` is basically an inflammation of the ligaments inside a person`s shoulder joint. The ligaments hold the bones of the shoulder in place. This inflammation restricts the movement of the shoulder joint. At that point of time the shoulder joint feels `frozen` or `locked up.`

Treatment
There are several treatments in homeopathy, which are applicable for all these symptoms. But the patient should suffer from the same symptoms as mentioned below.

Bryonia 30: This medicine is suitable for those patients who are suffering from severe pain, made worse by slightest motion, compelling the patient to keep still. Application of heat also worsens the pain. Absolute rest, gentle massage and lying on the affected shoulder help to relieve pain. In all these cases the person should take the medicine named Bryonia 30.

Chelidonium 30: Pain in the right shoulder spreading to right upper back. Pain is worse from movement of the shoulder and on touching but better from pressure or massage. All these symptoms confirm the use of the medicine Chelidonium 30.

Ferrum met: This medicine is used when the person suffers from pain in left shoulder, making it difficult for the victim to raise the arm. Pain gets worse from rest but is relieved by gently moving about the arm. All these symptoms clearly tell about the need of the medicine.

Rhus tox 30: In this case there is a feeling of stiffness, soreness and pain in the shoulder which is worse after rest or inactivity but gradually diminishes on moving the shoulder or applying dry heat. The Rhus tox 30 is useful when these types of symptoms are present.

Sanguinaria 30: This medicine named Sanguinaria 30 is useful for right-sided frozen shoulder accompanied by burning in palms and soles. Pain is worse from movement of the shoulder and better by rest and sleep.

Syphilinum 30: Frozen shoulder, with stiffness and pain that spreads into the arm-bone. Pain is especially troublesome during the night and that usually prevents sleep. It increases from heat-treatment but decreases on pouring cold water.
