Abstract

Present day lifestyle has resulted in several health related problems. Musculo-skeletal disorders are rising and one among them is Sciatica. Based on sign and symptoms, Sciatica can be correlated with Gridhrasi in Ayurveda which is considered as Shoolpradhan Vatavayadhi. As the patient walks in this disease like the bird gridhra and his legs are rigid and slightly bent, so the name Gridhrasi could have been given to this disease due to the similarity to a vulture's gait. Sushruta suggests that the vitiated Vata dosha affects the kandara of Gridhrasi, where it is hard to stretch the patient's leg. Sciatica is very painful condition in which pain begins in lumbar region and radiate along the posterio lateral aspect of the thigh and leg. Low back pain affects the

quality of life particularly in most productive period of life. The incidence rate of low back pain is significant as more than three quarters of the world‟s population experience low back pain at some or other time during their life time. It is most common cause of sickness which results in

absence from work. The person who suffers from this disease is partially handicapped, as the patient may not be able to walk, stand or sit comfortably.In modern medicine mainly treatment is concerned about pain management or surgical correction of the pathology.Treatment in Ayurveda is aimed at restoring the equilibrium through correction of the underlying functional in-equilibrium. Ayurvedic Gridhrasi remedies are focused on bringing the stressed Vata or Vata Kapha back to the state of equilibrium and thus to the state of health.
