Abstract

Shandhigatavata (Osteoarthritis) is a disease due to vitiated Vata in various sandhi or joints in the body. It is  described under Vatavyadhi in almost every literature of Ayurveda. When the vitiated Vata increased, the dhatus  (body tissues) undergoes Kshayaavatha. There is the role of many environmental, dietary, and lifestyle factors  in the pathogenesis of Sandhigatavata (Osteoarthritis). All these factors lead to Vataprakopa and affect the  individual health a lot. Sandhigatavata (Osteoarthritis) is the topmost disease of the modern era and becomes a  challenging disease. It is the number one cause of disability in industrialized countries. In modern sciences, it  is called osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disorder that begins in around the third decade  of life asymptomatically and showed the symptoms mostly in old age. In recent decades, the disease occurrence  starts early due to changing lifestyle and the disease affects women more than men. Osteoarthritis or  degenerative arthritis is a degenerative joint disorder characterized by degeneration of joint cartilage and  adjacent bone that can cause joint pain and stiffness. Since OA is the most commonly disturbing joint disease  but still no permanent relief is available in modern sciences and the same is still under research works. In modern  medical science, mainly analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs or surgery are the options for the treatment of  Osteoarthritis, which provide symptomatic relief, but also become the causative factor for adverse effects. So,  the present review helps the understand the disease of the modern era through the ayurvedic approach and help  in the integrative approach in the treatment of Sandhigatavata or osteoarthritis.
