Yoga Can Help With Lower Back Pain
New York, New York (AHN) - Chronic lower back pain sufferers may find comfort in Yoga classes.
It is possible that yogas benefits for both the body and mind explain the effects on lower back pain, the study's lead author, Dr. Karen J. Sherman, tells Reuters Health.
However, the positive results are only found when participants take slower-moving forms of yoga that was designed for people with lower back problems.
Since vigorous styles of yoga that include more-advanced poses could potentially make chronic back pain worse.
Sherman, a researcher at the Group Health Cooperative in Seattle, and her colleagues report the findings in the Annals of Internal Medicine this week.
