Objective: This case report explores the potential of Arthrothermia®, a novel non-invasive thermal therapy, in managing Lumbago / Katigraha associated with Lumbar Canal Stenosis (LCS). Methods: A 40-year-old female patient with severe lower back pain due to LCS was treated with Arthrothermia® (combining Kshar-karma and Agnikarma) for 6 days (per day 1 session). Pre- and post-treatment assessments included physical examination, MRI scans, and patient-reported outcomes. Results: Treatment resulted in complete pain resolution, improved spinal flexibility and mobility, and increased walking and stair climbing capacity. MRI showed significant increases in spinal canal diameters, indicating reduced stenosis. Discussion: Arthrothermia® aligns with key Ayurvedic principles, addressing pain, inflammation, Vata imbalance, and circulation. This case suggests its potential effectiveness in managing Lumbago/Katigraha and LCS, although further research is needed. Conclusion: Arthrothermia® presents a promising non-invasive approach for managing spinal conditions associated with pain and stenosis. Large-scale studies are warranted to validate its efficacy and establish its optimal role in clinical practice.
