Recurrent shoulder dislocation can be quite challenging, and addressing it through Ayurveda requires a nuanced understanding of your dosha balance, and underlying causes. It's important to first consider pursuing medical advice from an orthopedic specialist, espicially if the condition is causing instability and repeated injury. Now, from an Ayurvedic perspective, lets dive into a few potential supportive measures. First, I'd suggest reflecting on your energy balance or dosha management. Regular shoulder dislocation might be indicating an imbalance, often between Vata (movement and change) and Kapha (structure and stability). Focus on calming and grounding practices that reduce Vata, like maintaining warm, oiled massages, specifically applying Mahanarayan oil to gently warm and soothe the joint. Use clockwise movements for few minutes, avoiding excess pressure. Diet plays a vital role in balance too. Replace crunchy and dry foods with warm, cooked meals that bolster the strength of your body's tissues or dhatus. You might find soups, stews and warm grains comforting. Add grounding herbs such as ashwagandha and shatavari in powder form (around 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon twice daily with warm milk) to support ojas, the vital essence. Emphasize strengthening the shoulder through exercises when condition becomes stable and pain-free. Avoid stressful movement patterns when possible, opting for gentle shoulder rotations, pendulum swings under professional guidance. Lastly, daily routines or dinacharya can build stability further. Regular morning and evening walks, ensuring a consistent sleep schedule, and practicing mindfulness or meditation helps soothe the mind, reducing stress and tension. Urgent concerns like impaired movement or constant pain from injuries should be assessed by a medical professional. Taking an integrative approach blends Ayurvedic insight with medical care to encourage holistic recovery.

I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

NAMASTE JI, Recurrent shoulder dislocation- especially 3 or more episodes within five years as you've described- is usually due to ligament laxity, capsular weakness, or bone and cartilage damage around the joint.

With over 18 years of dedicated Ayurvedic practice, I have focused extensively on treating skin and hair disorders, integrating classical Panchakarma therapies with individualized care. A major aspect of my clinical approach involves Upakarma procedures—supportive therapies within Panchakarma—which I customize based on each patient’s Prakriti (constitutional type). I believe true healing begins when treatments are aligned with the body’s natural balance, and this philosophy guides every aspect of my work. My specialization includes the preparation and use of Ayurvedic formulations that I personally design, including face packs, hair packs, body oils, and facial oils—each one carefully selected and recommended according to the patient’s specific dosha and skin/hair condition. These formulations are result-oriented and rooted in time-tested Ayurvedic principles, ensuring safe, natural, and sustainable outcomes. In my practice, Ayurvedic facials are more than just cosmetic procedures; they are therapeutic treatments tailored to the unique constitution of each individual, aiming to restore inner and outer harmony. By incorporating dosha-based skincare routines and traditional beauty therapies, I help patients achieve visible improvement in conditions like pigmentation, acne, hair fall, and premature aging—without relying on chemical-based solutions. My goal is to blend classical Ayurveda with a practical, patient-focused approach. Whether managing chronic skin concerns, offering customized herbal solutions, or delivering rejuvenative Panchakarma therapies, I ensure each treatment is deeply personalized, holistic, and rooted in authentic Ayurvedic wisdom.

Whenever the head of the humerus is displaced and loses contact with the glenoid cavity the condition is dislocation of the shoulder. Shoulder is the most common joint to dislocate as stability is compromised for mobility when compared to other joints. * 3 type dislocation 1. Anterior dislocation - the head of the humerus lies in front of the glenoid cavity 2. Posterior dislocation - the head of the humerus lies behind the glenoid cavity 3. Subglenoid dislocation - the head of the humerus lies beneath the glenoid cavity On examination - normal contour is lost , flattening of the shoulder joint. ✅ X - ray AP view Shows anterior dislocation of a shoulder joint * Different types of examinations If needed better - MRI to rule out in recurrent shoulder dislocation. 🌱 Ayurvedic management of recurrent shoulder dislocation 1. Exercise : Rehabilitation is the most important thing for recurrent shoulder dislocation.active use and exercise, active use and exercise against resistance and active use and exercise with weight - bearing are the three phases of rehab. 2. Internal medication - gandha tailam - 10 drops with warm milk at bed time 3. Nasya - ksheerabala avarthi 4. Nagaradi choornam + karutha marmani gulika make paste with washed rice water or egg white apply affected area. 5. Pichu with panchasneha tailam 6. Maharasnadi kashayam - 15 ml with 60 ml boiled hot water morning and evening before food (empty stomach) 7. Aba guggulu or rasna guggulu 1 - 0 - 1 with kashayam 🌸 Physiotherapy is beneficial 🌸 Marma chikitsa is very beneficial 🌸 Shoulder immobilizer is also good for this condition

Ayurveda can help support recovery and strengthen the shoulder joint, but it’s important to note that for recurrent dislocation (especially if it has happened three times), you must also consult an orthopedic doctor, as surgery or physiotherapy may be necessary to stabilize the joint. Rx, Tab. Shallaki 2 bd Tab. Lakshadi guggulu 2 bd Tab. Triyodashang guggulu 2 bd Syp. Dashmoola arishtha 2tsf bd with equal amount of water (1hr after meal ) for one month Gentle massage with, MahaNarayan tailam Please visit nearby Panchkarma centre for further advice and treatment. Precautions, Avoid cracking, jerking, or stretching the shoulder unnecessarily. If shoulder becomes unstable frequently, you may need MRI imaging and orthopedic opinion for surgical repair. Repeated dislocation can lead to chronic instability and arthritis later.
