Abstract: A 59-year-old male patient complained of a low backache radiating from his left leg to foot for five years and associated with burning sensation in both feet for one year. There is a history of diabetic Mellitus for ten years and hyperlipidemia for four years. The patient could not carry out his daily work due to severe pain from Katipradesa to Padanguli.  The present case is diagnosed as Gridhrasi from the clinical examination. In this case, Ardhamatrika Vasti is used in the Yoga Vasti pattern. After the treatment, pain and burning sensation were reduced, and he was able to raise his legs to 75 degrees. Moreover, no recurrence was observed even after one year of treatment.
