Abstract

Spondylosis is one of the commonest forms of joint disorder. Mostly it comes under concept of Vatavyadhi which mainly occurs due to vitiated vat dosha which is due to dhatukshaya (1) Basically this disease involves asthi and majja dhatu. This disease limits our daily activities such as walking, running, gait up, dressing, cycling, bathing etc.which makes patient disabled or handicapped. It is a kashtasadhya vatavyadhi due to intensive pain and restricted movements of joints. Here we discuss a case report of asthimajjgat vatavyaddhi which is best treated by ayurvedic concepts which was described by acharyas in vatvyadhi chikitsa adhyaya.
