Viddha Karma as an Emergency Analgesic for Muscle Spasms in Athletes: A Case Study
Abstract: Muscle spasms during sports can impair an athlete?s performance and require immediate pain management. This case study explores the effectiveness of Viddha Karma, a traditional Ayurvedic therapy, in managing acute muscle spasms. An 18-year-old professional football player experienced a severe calf spasm during a match, prompting the application of Viddha Karma for pain relief. The procedure involved therapeutic puncturing of the affected muscle, followed by herbal remedies. The athlete experienced immediate pain relief and improved mobility, highlighting Viddha Karma?s potential as an emergency intervention for sports-related musculoskeletal issues.
