Ayurvedic Management of Ankylosing Spondylitis Single Case Study

Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory disease commonly affecting young male individuals. Ankylosing Spondylitis presents with pain and stiffness of joints of axial skeleton especially the sacro iliac joints. Sacroiliitis is the earliest recognized manifestation of Ankylosing spondylitis. Along with it, peripheral joints and extra articular structures may also get affected. In Ayurveda, Ankylosing Spondylitis can be understood as Amavata based on classical symptoms and can be treated accordingly. Intervention of Virechana Karma and Matrabasthi in ankylosing spondylitis markedly reverse the pathology of ankylosing spondylitis.
