Bhujastambha is a disease that usually affects the Amsa sandhi (shoulder joint). It is produced by the Vata dosha. Even though the term Apabahuka is not mentioned in the nanatmaja Vata vyadhi, Acharya Sushruta and others have considered Apabahuka as a Vataja vikara. Amsa shosha (wasting of the shoulder) can be considered as the preliminary stage of the disease, where loss or dryness of sleshaka kapha from Amsa sandhi occurs. Amsa marmaghat can be correlated with frozen shoulder due similarity in symptomology. Frozen shoulder (FS) mainly affects the older population, with a female predominance. The precise prevalence of FS is unknown, some studies have quoted prevalence of 2%–5% in the general population. In the ancient era, even after the best treatment available at that time, some sort of disability remained at end of the therapy. Nowadays, though super specialty modalities are available, is modern science capable of taking care of these disabilities? To rule out the above question, a study of marma sharira and Amsa Marma ghata is essential.
