A Critical Interpretation on Sandhi Sharir

Sandhi Sharir, the study of joints within Ayurvedic anatomy, is a fundamental aspect of the musculoskeletal system.
Understanding the classification, structure, function, and pathology of Sandhis (joints) provides essential insights into both
traditional and modern medical practices. The bone that does Dharan of the body serves as the primary support for the human
body. These bones are attached to one another by a variety of joints, which allows them to hold the body in the right position.
Only the joints allow the body to move, therefore understanding the Sandhi's structure and function is crucial for a better
understanding of the Sandhi. Aacharya Sushruta has quoted that although there are numerous Sandhi in our body which
cannot be counted so only Asthi Sandhi should be considered while enumerating Sandhi. The definition of Sandhi in various
Ayurvedic literature are given as “Asthi Samyoga Sthaaana” or “to unite” or “the meeting point of two or more structures
counted so only Asthi Sandhi or bony joints should be considered under the term Sandhis.A thorough knowledge of the
structures and functions of the joint is required to diagnose and treat the disease of joints.
