Abstract

Vatakantaka (Calcaneal spur) is one among Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhi. Kantavath Vedana (pricking pain) in Padatala Pradesha of Khudapradesha (Heel region) is a prominent characteristic feature, which is caused by Vishamampade (walking on irregular surfaces), Atishrama (excessive exertion over the heel) etc. This can be correlated to a Calcaneal Spur, which is a calcium deposit causing a bony protrusion on the underside of the heel bone, often frequently associated with plantar fasciitis; treatment includes Raktavasechana (bloodletting), Erandataila Pana, Agnikarma (cauterisation) and Samanya Vatavyadhi Chikitsha (general line of management). Jaloukavacharana (leech therapy) is a type of Ashastrakrita Raktamokshanopaya which is indicated in Avagadha Avastha (deeply situated), Grathita Avastha (complicated structures) of Doshas and by the word Sarvani Sarveva in all condition wherever Raktavasechana is indicated. At present, Jaloukavacharana (leech therapy) is taken. The study comprises 40 patients of Vatakantaka (Calcaneal spur). These patients were randomly selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The duration of the study is 21 days. After evaluating therapy, it was observed that Jaloukavacharana provided better analgesic relief to the patients of vatakantaka (Calcaneal spur).
