Yoga is a popular, safe, and well-respected form of exercise. Yoga is not only a great way to relieve tension and stress, but it can also reduce back pain and help maintain a healthy spine. Research has shown that chiropractic care can be enhanced by adding therapeutic exercise. Other studies have also shown that specific yoga therapy is equally effective as stretching and exercises provided by physical therapists. The bottom line is that therapeutic yoga can be an excellent addition to chiropractic care for spinal conditions. It doesn’t matter if you are using yoga for therapeutic purposes or as an adjunct to chiropractic care. The key is to target the correct muscles, joints, and patterns of fascial tension.

How Do You Determine If Yoga Is Right For You?
Yoga is not recommended especially for people with lower back pain. You should consult your chiropractor before you book regular yoga sessions. Sometimes, back pain can be worsened by excessive or improper physical activity. You may strain your muscles and overexert yourself if you don’t do yoga with a qualified instructor. A general practitioner may be able to give you advice about yoga and your particular health condition.
