Abstract

Aggravation of Vata in the Kati Pradesha leading to Dhatukshaya causes Kativata[1] producing symptoms like Kati Shoola, Kati Bhanga, Sharira Vikara which has similar clinical representation with Lumbar Disc Disease.[2] Degeneration, Prolapse, Protrusions and Herniation of Nucleus pulposus of Lumbar Spine triggers the production of proinflammatory cytokines which eventually perputate low back ache which may be localized or referral and it also leads to Limitation of spine motion, Abnormal Posture. About 60 – 80 % of the population in India suffer from this condition. A single case study of Kativata is selected and was assessed with parameters ie., Back pain function scale[3] and Flexion, Extension of lumbar spine and SLRT. As Kati is the Sthana of Vata, Basti is the general line of management. Hence patient of Kativata was given Sthanika Chikitsa’s ie., localised Snehana and Swedana and Madhu Grthadhya Yapana Basti[4] to normalize the deranged Vata and to bring Dhatusamyata. Marked improvement was noticed in the score of Back pain functional scale, Flexion and Extension of the lumbar spine, Reduction in SLRT and noticed Significant Changes in MRI Lumbar spine.
