Brief Summary   In Katigraha the pain and restricted movement are present in Katipradesha, i.e. in between Uraha and Nitamba (lumbo sacral region). In other hand low back pain is a chronic condition characterised by persistent dull or sharp pain on the lower back. It may be associated with burning, stiffness, numbness or tingling with the pain. The most common symptoms of non-specific low back pain are pain and disability. 

Low back pain is a very common health problem worldwide and a major cause of disability. It affects people of all ages, and is a very frequent reason for medical consultations. Low back pain, a chronic and most common pain disorder which is characterised by dull or sharp pain in the lower back it may also be associated with burning or stiffness. The 2010 Global Burden of Disease Study estimated that low back pain is one among the top 10 diseases. The lifetime prevalence of non-specific low back pain is estimated at 60% to 70% in industrialized countries. Prevalence increases and peaks between the ages of 35- 55.

Swedana karma is the next important and essential Purvakarma after Snehana. It is also important pradhana karma for the treatment of many diseases. Acharya Charaka has included Swedana karma under Shad Upakrama. Swedana relieves stiffness, heaviness and coldness of the body and it induces sweat in the body. Swedana is mainly of two types: Rooksha and Snigdha sweda. Rooksha sweda are generally opted for the treatment of disorder caused by Vatakapha Dosha.

Churna Pinda Sweda is a form of Rooksha sweda which is included under the category of Pinda Sweda. In this procedure we use heated/oil fried herbal powders which have the property of healing, pain, swelling, inflammation and degeneration tied in a bolus to provide heat to the pain afflicted joints /body parts.

Physiotherapy is the treatment of diseases, injury, or deformity by physical methods as massage, heat treatment and exercise rather than by drugs or surgery. It also plays a role in musculoskeletal disorders and shortwave diathermy is one of the physiotherapy tools.
