Individuals like dancers can suffer from knee difficulties and there is no upper age limit for such knee joint-related disorders. During standing, walking, jogging, etc., the complex structure of the knee joint absorbs a lot of stress. Acute injuries to the joint may cause discomfort, swelling, and difficulty moving, which could be signs of a ruptured or broken ligament. The severity of the condition depends on the source of injury and the involved structures. Despite being less severe, some of them will still be uncomfortable and functionally restrictive. The symptoms of Janu sandhigata vata as described in Ayurveda may be correlated with signs and symptoms related to damage to the knee joint. A case where the patient was diagnosed as Abhighatajanya janu sandhigata vata with special reference to anterior cruciate ligament tear was managed by Ayurveda approaches that are presented here. The Ayurveda treatment protocol comprises Tikta ksheera basti (~therapeutic enema), Janu seka (~therapeutic streaming over the knee), Dashanga lepa (~anointment), and Sandhaniya upanaha (~poultice application). The treatment has resulted in significant improvement in the functioning of the affected knee joint. This case has demonstrated the role of Ayurveda treatment protocols and management strategies in such ligament and meniscal injuries, without any surgical intervention.
