Case Report: Management of Calcaneal Spur with Agni Karma

Abstract

Calcaneal spur, also known as heel spur or Vatakantaka in Ayurveda, is a painful condition characterized by bony outgrowth at the calcaneal tuberosity. Conventional treatments include analgesics, corticosteroid injections, physiotherapy, or surgery. In Ayurveda, Agni Karma (therapeutic cauterization) is an effective para-surgical procedure for chronic pain disorders. This case report highlights the successful management of calcaneal spur using Agni Karma therapy.
