Abstract
An annular tear refers to a condition where the tough exterior of the spinal disc, known as the annulus fibrosus, develops a tear or rip. When an annular tear occurs, it can lead to localised pain, inflammation, and, in some cases, compression of nearby nerves. Treatment options range from conservative approaches such as rest, physical therapy, and medications like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), injections, depending on the severity of symptoms and the extent of the tear. In Ayurveda, an annular tear is conceptualised as Abhighatjanya Katigatvata. The present case study focusses on the management of an annular tear in the lumbar intervertebral disc using ayurvedic principles.
A 48-year-old female, suffering from an annular tear of lumbar intervertebral disc desiccation and bulge, was treated with Panchtikta Kshira Basti for 15 days. Simultaneously, kati basti, Shashtishali Pinda Sweda, Agnikarma, and internal medicines were also given. Relief was noticeable in all symptoms of patient,so here presented a single case Study.
