It occures most often in the lumber spine and produces symptoms such as pain in low back,stiffness, irregular gait can be seen. In Katigata vata vitiated vata saturated in kati pradesha leads above mentaioned symptoms and this condition can be correlated with asthigata vata. Ayurvedic texts suggest that Asthigat vata is treated by Panchkarma upakrama, by Basti karma therapy and sthanik snehan sweden with drugs having vata &kapha pacifying properties [1].
