Case Report, SIRVA, Ayurvedic ManagementAbstract
Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration- “SIRVA”- is a potentially debilitating injury characterized by persistent shoulder pain, restricted joint movements and weakness. In the case of SIRVA, the pain will persist and even worsen with time. Common complaints will include pain at rest, increased pain with active shoulder motion, loss of shoulder range of motion and strength, infection, and radiating pain or tingling distally into the extremity. Persistent weakness for a long time may lead to subluxation of the shoulder joint. The condition is usually managed by conservative treatment in the modern system of medicine. Still, some cases do not resolve and need surgery. Such cases can be effectively managed by Ayurvedic treatment mainly emphasizing Sophahara, Srothosodhaka, Vatanulomaka,brimhana, Rasayana actions and Sandhi sthapanopaya methods. This study demonstrates an Ayurvedic approach in the management of Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration- “SIRVA” developed after Covid vaccination.
