Shoulder Pain Remedies in Homeopathy Treatment

Homeopathic Treatment for Shoulder pain suggested by  BOUKO LEVY M.in his Homeopathic and Drainage Repertory

 Introduction to Shoulder pain:

The shoulders are the crossroads of many pains, from the head and neck to the thoracic and abdominal organs.
 They are a precise image of the patient's emotional state, "the coat hanger", high and fast for NUX VOMICA, or sagging and stiff for NATRUM MURIATICUM.
 This joint is dominated by ciculatory and tendinous remedies.
 The arthritic background always needs a prolonged drainage to be effective.
