Brief Summary  
Sandhigat Vata is described in the Bruhatrayi under the heading of Vata Vyadhi. The symptoms of
this condition resemble those of osteoarthritis and include sandhi shool (pain in the joints), sandhi
shoth (swelling over the joints), akunchan prasaran vedana (pain during flexion and extension of the
joints), and vata purna druti sparsh (a sensation in the joints akin to the feeling of an air-filled
balloon)
Janubasti is derived from two words: "janu," meaning knee joint (Janusandhi), and "basti,"
meaning to reside or to hold . This technique has evolved from the concept of Shirobasti, a type of
Murdha Tail . The term "Vas Achhadane" can also be associated with Janubasti. It involves the
application or holding of a specific substance at the knee joint (Janu Pradesh) for a considerable
period. This procedure is unique as it combines both Snehana (oleation) and Swedana (sudation), and
can be considered a form of Snehayukta Sweda (oleation-based sweating therapy)
Ultrasound therapy is recognized for its potential in managing musculoskeletal
conditions. It is non-invasive, can be performed repeatedly and easily, and has minimal side effects.
The Ultrasound therapy mechanism involves applying high-frequency sound waves, which cause
mechanical and thermal effects. These effects increase blood flow and metabolic activity while
reducing inflammation and pain. Ultrasound therapy helps in softening dense fibrous tissue, resulting
in pain-free movement. The ultrasound waves are absorbed by tissues and converted into heat.
