Low back ache is a common complaint in the present era irrespective of age and gender. It can be correlated with the Katigraha concept in Ayurveda. The patient feels pain and stiffness in the lumbar region, which affects the person's everyday activities. The causes for this are postural irregularities and nutritional deficiency. A 42-yearold male patient working as a restaurant employee has complained of backache and stiffness for three months. He had taken allopathic medications, but the result was unsatisfactory. This case was diagnosed as Katigraha and was treated with Erandamooladi Niruha Vasti 1 in Yoga vasti2 pattern and Agnikarma3 , three sittings with a three-day gap. The result of the treatment was encouraging. Hence, the study concluded that Katigraha can be managed with Erandamooladi Niruha Vasti and Agni karma.
