Abstract

It has been observed that Katishoola or Lower backache has become a common problem in middle and old age people. The causes of lower backache may be neurological, metabolic, degenerative, traumatic, bad posture, or restless lifestyle. Gridhrasi or Sciatica is one of the reasons for backache so a person cannot sit and walk properly. In this disease person walks like Gridhra and his legs become curved and tense. It is mentioned in Vataj Nanatmaja Vyadhi in various Ayurvedic Samhitas where the course of the Sciatic nerve corresponds to Pratyatma Lakshana of Gridhrasi.
