Author(s): Dr. Nitin Patil and Santosh Kumar Bhatted

Abstract:

Gridhrasi can be compared to the condition known as Sciatica in modern terminology based on its symptoms. Sciatica is characterised by a particular type of pain that is distributed throughout the sciatic nerve and is frequently linked to lumbago. The disease Gridhrasi, which is frequently observed in society and was highlighted by Charak in the second century B.C. as a significant issue, causes the patient to become unable to perform his daily tasks due to excruciating pain from Kati-Pradesha to Padanguli (foot). It is unnecessary to mention that the patient's options in other medical sciences for treating sciatica are limited to symptomatic relief and a few surgical techniques that carry a risk of negative side effects.
