Abstract

                     Intervertebral disc prolapse is a condition in which there is pain, numbness, weakness, sensory or motor changes occur in the limbs. Low backpain is common symptom seen in the diseases of spine and most of the times it is found due to Intervertebral Disc prolapse. It mostly happens as a result of trauma or increased tension due to heavy weight lifting, sitting in wrong posture etc. About 80% cases of prolapse of intervertebral disc are traumatic in origin and about 15% of degenerative in origin. According to ayurvedic literature, the sign and symptoms of backpain due to IVDP can be correlated with kativata which is described under vata vyadhi. Panchakarma therapies like basti, katibasti, sthanik snehan swedan and vata shamak drugs are  given internally to the patient and the results found are too good and effective. Here, in this case patient is  having symptoms of pricking pain in back, back stiffness, unable to walk in straight posture due to disc degeneration of L3/L4,L4/L5 and  L5/S1 with significant disc protrusion at L3/L4 level and disc bulge at L4/L5 and L5/S1 level. Patient was treated with panchtikta ksheer basti of 16 days with sarvang snehan swedan, katibasti and internal vata shamak drugs like Rasnadi kwath, Ashwagandha churna, Trifala guggulu. All this treatment was given for 30 days and there was significant relief to the patient.
