Sacroiliitis is an inflammatory condition affecting one or both sacroiliac joints, characterized by low back pain, buttock pain, stiffness, and restricted mobility. In Ayurveda, the condition can be correlated with Katigata Vata or Sandhigata Vata involving the sacroiliac region. Agnikarma is a para-surgical procedure described by Acharya Sushruta and is widely used for pain management in Vata-Kapha dominant disorders. This case study evaluates the efficacy of Agnikarma in a patient diagnosed with sacroiliitis. Significant improvement was observed in pain, tenderness, stiffness, and functional mobility after treatment. Agnikarma has been reported to provide pain relief in various musculoskeletal disorders and inflammatory joint conditions.
