Abstract Background: Subacromial-subdeltoid bursitis refers to the inflammation of the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa and is a common cause of shoulder pain. It is quite common and one of the main causes of shoul-der pain. Incidence increases with age. It is frequently seen in people with overhead activities. Objec-tives: Depending on the type of shoulder bursitis, treatment may include activity modification, im-mobilization with a splint, icing, injections, aspiration of the bursa (removing fluid with a syringe), antibiotics or anti-inflammatory pain medication. Injections of steroids into the bursa are used but can be associated with unwanted side effects. In Ayurveda, Panchakarma therapies like Upnaha Sweda (poultice) is used to treat abscess, bursitis, arthritis, varicosity, inflammation, frozen shoulder, muscle stiffness. Present case study was based on the treatment of subacromial-subdeltoid bursitis with Upnaha Sweda (poultice). Materials and Methods: This case study of a 60 year-old male patient of subacromial-subdeltoid bursitis includes treatment through Upnaha Sweda (poultice) which showed significant relief in pain, swelling, tenderness, stiffness and range of motion. Results: Patient was treated at OPD level with oral medication and Upnaha Sweda and advised Pathya and Apathya (Do and Don’ts) with regular follow ups. Conclusion: During the treatment all the signs and symptoms reduced to a very high extent. Upnaha Sweda (poultice) is an important Panchakarma procedure to treat subacromial-subdeltoid bursitis in Ayurveda.
