Yoga as Good as Physical Therapy for Back Pain


Yoga is as good as physical therapy (PT) in reducing chronic low back pain, the most common pain problem in the United States, new research shows.
“Our study showed that yoga was noninferior to physical therapy for a diverse group of low-income patients,” said Robert B. Saper, MD, director of integrative medicine, Boston Medical Center, Massachusetts. “Its effectiveness was most obvious in the most adherent patients.”
Dr Saper presented his study at the American Academy of Pain Management (AAPM) 2016 Annual Meeting. The AAPM recently changed its name to the Academy of Integrative Pain Management.
