Can Yoga Relieve My Chronic Back Pain?
Are you feeling it? That irritating lower back pain. You’re not alone. Millions of Americans suffer from lower back pain every day. Maybe it isn’t a new injury, but it is an old flare up. Our team can offer a non-invasive and non-surgical treatment plan. People always ask, “How could I have prevented this?” A recent study found that 12 weeks of yoga improved back function and helped with pain management in adults suffering from chronic low back pain. While some of the injuries are unavoidable, the team at Next Level Wellness usually recommends yoga as a great routine to help your back healthy and happy.
Yoga is just as much a workout for the mind as it is for the body. The movements in the practice incorporate breathing, meditation, and stretching to strengthen your core, reduce stress, and most importantly, relax your mind. I recommend yoga because it helps with flexibility, and so many of my patients lack the flexibility that their bodies need. Yoga helps all of the muscles in the core, back, hips, and legs work together. This can be a real game-changer in the rehabilitation process.
Most patients think sitting on the sidelines for weeks is the best plan of action to get healthy. I recommend being as active as your body allows. I’m not talking about running a marathon or playing three sets of tennis for 2 hours. If yoga isn’t for you, start with some very slow and easy strength training. We can take the guesswork out of it and develop a proper exercise plan to balance your body. Unlike other Irvine chiropractors that limit your treatment to a room with a table, Next Level Wellness features a full workout facility. We work with you on the exercises and provide you with a comprehensive plan that will have you on the road to recovery quicker.
