Sandhigata Vata is a disease of Sandhi (joint) with symptoms of Sandhi Shoola, Sandhi Shotha, Vedana during Akunchana, Prasarana and in a later stage Hanti Sandhigatah.When Greeva Pradesh is affected, it termed as Greeva Sandhigata Vata or Cervical Spondylosis. Acharya Sushruta has mentioned Agnikarma having Vata-kaphahara property like Ushna, Sukshma, Ashukari Guna. So, it has been chosen to manage Sandhigata Vata. As Agnikarma may be effectively helpful to relieve the pain and muscle spasm instantly so it is used to manage cervical spondylosis. Rasnadi Guggulu is selected from the yogratnakar text where it is mentioned in the treatment of Sandhigata Vata.

·       To decrease the intensity of pain and stiffness so that the patient can do his routine work comfortably.
