It is explained as one of the <em>Lakshanas</em> of <em>Vata Vyadhi</em>. But <em>Bhavaprakasha</em> and <em>Gada Nigraha</em> explained it as a separate <em>Vyadhi. Charaka</em> explained it in <em>Vataja Nanatmaja Vikaras</em>.</p> <p>The symptoms of <em>Katishoola</em> can be correlated to low back pain. It is one of the most common problems in the orthopedic field today.
