She was diagnosed to be affected by adhesive capsulitis which is equated to Kumbavatham, one of the vatha diseases mentioned in Siddha system of medicine. She was treated with Siddha Varmam therapy and thokkanam with Vathakesari thylam. After 15 days of hospital stay the patient was discharged and was followed for 6 months.
