Abstract :

Sciatic nerve neuropathy and dysfunction is commonest cause of sciatica (also c/a Gridhasi in ayurveda). It is a cause of lower extremity symptoms in a musculoskeletal system. We present the case of a man who comes with lower extremity weakness, pain, numbness. He came to us after spinal surgery failure case. On RTA (road traffic accident) his lumbar verteae fractured. Operation has been done at that time. His operation was not successful. After operation he had unable to walk properly due to nerve compression. Electro diagnostic testing revealed an isolated right sciatic neuropathy .we had given ayurvedic medicines (especially ekangaveerrasa, sameerpanagarasa) and panchakarma therapy. Panchakarma therapy includes katibasti, adharangasnehanswadan, anuvasanabasti, asthapanabasti. Anuvasanabasti was given by sahacharaditaila and asthapanabasti was given by erandmuladikeatha. The effect of therapy shows a drastic improvement on patient.
