    Abstract

    Background The most common condition that restricts movement is low back pain, which is particularly common in the most productive years of life. Sciatica syndrome accounts for 40% of patients’ severe lower back pain. Psychological strain places excessive strain on the spinal column and is a major contributing factor to the development of sciatica and lower back pain. Objectives The illness indicated in Ayurveda has symptoms and signs similar to “Sciatica” in modern, contemporary medicine. In clinical practice, Gridhrasi (Sciatica), the conditions stated in Ayurveda are comparable to those treated in contemporary medicine. Methods A 38-year-old female patient suffering from the above ailments, having pain in the lumbar region radiating pain to the left leg, tingling sensation in both legs, difficulty in walking, irregular sleep, and limping gait, was admitted to an Ayurvedic hospital. Her treatment comprised external and internal, consisting of Snehan with Vishgarbha Taila, Kati Basti with Mahamasadi Taila, and Kala Basti with Panchtiktaksheer (medicated enema). Results These treatments had a very favorable outcome, it was discovered. Following therapy, there was a significant improvement in walking time, lower extremity motions, and pain alleviation. Conclusion This method of treating Sciatica may be helpful in clinical settings and future research.
