Prevalence increases linearly from third decade of life on, until the 60 years of age, being more prevalent in woman. Sciatica most commonly occurs when a herniated disk, bone spur on the spine or narrowing of the spine (spinal stenosis) compresses part of the nerve. It is commonly occurs due to the compression of lumbar nerves L4 or L5 or sacral nerves S1, S2 or S3 or by the compression of the sciatic nerve itself. This causes inflammation, pain and often some numbness in the affected leg. <em>Gridhrasi </em>is the one amongst the 80 types of <em>Nanatmaja</em> disorders of <em>Vatavyadh</em>i, It starts from <em>Kati- prishta</em> (pelvic region and Lumbosacral) radiating to <em>Jangha</em> (thigh) and <em>Pada</em> (feet) with impairment of lifting the leg.
