Joint locking
Joint locking is when a joint suddenly gets stuck mid-movement, usually due to something physically blocking it inside. It is most common in the knee, where a torn meniscus or loose body can wedge in the joint. Ayurvedic therapy combined with physiotherapy can reduce episodes and improve function.
