Introduction: In Ayurveda, Gridhrasi is one of the Shula pradhana vatavyadhi, which comes under the eighty vataja nanatmaja vikaras. It has symptoms like pain that starts at Sphik and radiates to Kati (waist) to Pada(foot), along with Sthambha(stiffness), Toda (pricking pain), and Spandana (tingling sensation). Almost all the symptoms mimic the condition of sciatica in modern parlance, in which pain radiates along the sciatica nerve and runs down one or both legs from the lower back. AIM: The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Swalpa rasona pinda (internally) and Saireyaka tail (external application) in the management of Gridhrasi. Materials and methods: A single case study of a 55-year-old male patient visiting our Ayurvedic hospital to treat Gridhrasi of the right leg for ten months. He was treated for about 45 days. Result: After 45 days, the patient's symptoms were assessed, and the outcome was good. The patient's general quality of life had also improved. Conclusion: The mentioned treatment reduced Gridhrasi's symptoms significantly.
