In presentscenario homoeopathic medicines could be a valid alternative treatment to providea significant improvement in pain and stiffness along with significant benefiton overall well being of the patients. Unfortunately there isinsufficient evidence to make conclusion about the utility of individualisedhomoeopathic medicine in management of adhesivecapsulitis.
