Consider Yoga For That Aching Back

Before getting more pain injections or attending another round of PT, you might want to head down to your local yoga studio. New research from the Annals of Internal Medicine has found that certain forms of yoga can be effective in treating chronic back pain.  Keep in mind, however, that not all yoga is the same. Some practitioners engage in yoga poses that are simply too extreme for persons with back pain. But other forms, particularly one called viniyoga, could be just the thing to help with that nagging pain. If you are not quite ready to put on your spandex and do yoga in public, here is a You Tube video that will show you what you can do at home.
