Yoga as Lower Back Pain Relief

When I first started Yoga, I didn’t realise the huge impact it will have on body, mind and life in general.

I was visiting the chiro 3 times a week, and really just getting by.

I just started my dentistry job, my posture was getting worse every day. I was in my twenties, I recognised the deteriation instantly. At that time I didn’t know that Yoga is going to be my solution. I continued my chiro appointments. She did mention that I can come less and less because my spine is looking really good. She even asked me what type of yoga exactly am I doing because she didn’t receive those benefits from the style she was practicing. I told her all about Therapy yoga, she was very excited.

After about 3 years or regular practice (3 times a week - daily) I stopped my appointments because I felt I can manage my spinal issued myself, with Therapy Yoga.

I knew what stretches to do if I get pain, I felt in control. As well as implementing turmeric into my daily routine.

While back pain is exceedingly common, it is equally challenging to diagnose, since there is no established guideline or protocol to evaluate this problem. Besides, the typical setting of a 15-minute doctor’s visit is usually not enough to explain, understand, and evaluate everything that’s going on in your achy back.

Low back injuries often restrict movement and lead to the weakening of low back muscles.
