Prolapsed Intervertebral Disc

In India, nearly 80% of people have significant back pain due to lumbar pathology. In this case study patient’s main complaint was severe low backache, stiffness in the back due to which he was unable to do his routine activ- ities. He was diagnosed with Prolapsed intervertebral disc (PIVD) which can be correlated to katigatvata (low backache) which comes under vatavyadhi. Panchkarma therapies like katibasti and panchtikta ksheer basti in ka- la basti format are given with oral vatashamak medicines. In course of treatment satisfactory improvement was noted. Keywords: Katigatavata, Vatavyadhi, Katibasti, PTKB.
