Abstract

Gridhrasi (Sciatica) is one of the severe debilitating syndromes among all the neurological disorders. The main symptoms of Gridhrasi are Ruka (pain), Toda (pricking sensation), Stambha (stiffness) and Muhuspandana (twitching) in the Sphika (Gluteal Region), Kati (Waist), Prishtha (Low Back), Uru (Thigh), Janu (Knee), Jangha (Calf) and Pada (Foot) respectively and Sakthikshepa Nigraha (restricted lifting of the leg). The above mentioned symptoms can be compared with sciatica syndrome which is characterised by severe pain starting from low back region and radiating down towards the foot. This is a common entity encountered in a clinical practice. The review elaborates the general description of disease Gridhrasi w.s.r. to Sciatica. The general principle of treatment and procedures for the management of Gridhrasi/Sciatica according to various Ayurveda classics have been discussed.
