| Title | Yoga can help with all sorts of back pain. |
| Description | The truth is that yoga can help with back pain, but it's not equally good for all types. If your back pain is muscle-related, then yes, the yoga stretches and some of the positions can help. It can also help build a stronger core, which for many people is the answer to lower back pain. But if your back problems are related other problems (such as a ruptured disc) yoga is not likely to help, he says. What's more, it could actually irritate the injury and cause you more pain. If you do have back pain, get your doctor's OK before starting any type of exercise program. |
