Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Sedentary lifestyle, improper sitting posture at work place, continuous and over exertion jerking movements during travelling and sports leads to undue pressure on spinal cord which results in low back ache and sciatica. The pathognomonic sign of sciatica is radiating pain from low back to planter surface of foot. It may or may not present with associated symptoms of sciatica. In present era, many medical and surgical interventions are available for the treatment of Sciatica though those are not as much successful for cure of Sciatica and also these procedures are expensive and time consuming. We have found in authentic Ayurvedic literature that Agnikarma is one of the treatments of Sciatica (Gridhrasi) from thousands of years. Purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of Agnikarma therapy performed by innovated Agnikarma Probe made by Panch Dhatu (five types of metals) in case of Sciatica. After giving Agnikarma sitting, we have got marked improvement in symptoms of Sciatica within couple of hours and also found moderately improvement in various clinical examinations of Sciatica like SLR, Cross SLR, Local tenderness etc.
