Abstract

The concept of Sandhi is presented in several ayurvedic Samhita in Ayurveda. Meaning of the word Sandhi is union, to unite, or meeting place of two or more structures. According to Acharya Sushruta, there are numerous sandhi in our body so only Asthi Sandhi should be considered as sandhi. On the basis of shape and movement, Sandhi is classified into 2 - chetanavant and sthir. The bones, essential for supporting the body, are interconnected through joints, allowing proper positioning and movement. Joint disorder is increasing day by day. Joint disorders, termed as ‗Arthropathy‘, include conditions like arthritis, where inflammation affects one or more joints. Polyarticular arthropathy involves multiple joints, while monoarticular arthropathy affects only one joint.

Keywords: Sandhi, Asthi, Sthira, Chetanavant, Joint, Arthropathy.
