        abstract = {The most prevalent musculoskeletal problem that typically manifests in old age is Osteoarthritis (OA). This disorder primarily affects large joints, especially in weight-bearing joints. Practically everyone has some degenerative changes by the age of 40. Osteoarthritis symptoms are frequently observed in 15% of males and 25% of females. The Indian population has a higher incidence of Osteoarthritis in the knee than the Western population. It causes limits owing to pain when doing daily activities, including walking, dressing, and washing, which interferes with employment incapacity. In Ayurveda, Osteoarthritis correlates with Sandhigata Vata. Acharya Charaka mentioned this disease under Vatavyadhi chikitsa adhyaya. The symptoms are swelling like an air-filled balloon and pain during flexion and extension of the joints. Modern medicine has its limitations. While there are many therapy options available, they are not particularly effective and have several side effects. Ayurveda treatments shamana chikitsa (palliative therapy) and Panchakarma (Ayurvedic cleansing method) are more effective in treating this disease. This case study represents an attempt to shed light on the remarkable effectiveness of Ayurvedic treatment for the Sandhigata Vata. In this case study, shaman chikitsa and Panchakarma chikitsa showed remarkable improvement in clinical signs of Osteoarthritis.},
