About 2 years ago I started seeking treatment for low back pain. I won't go into all the different things I've tried but at some point along the way I stopped going to yoga because so many different movements hurt so much.
Well, here I am without much success treating the pain and finding articles like this one about treating lower pack pain and decided to see if yoga could help rather than hurt. I've only been a few times (I don't get free classes here and what is available does not work very well with my work schedule). Obviously, there's no instantaneous relief but even if my back isn't feeling better I'm feeling better. I had forgotten how much of an impact yoga has.
I'll be really super beyond happy if it helps my back (because nothing else has) but even if it doesn't I'm glad to be back on my mat.
Have you found any alternative ways to treat back pain? How has yoga helped you?
I hope you start finding some relief! My husband has struggled with back injuries and swimming + yoga + chiropractor has worked best for him.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I've never had any success with chiropractics or acupuncture. So far the stretching helps a little...at least for a few minutes after I do it. I plan to keep at it, though.
