Yoga In Conjunction With Chiropractic For Back Pain Just Makes Sense!
San Francisco Chiropractor and Chronic Back Pain Doctor Comments:
I am often asked, "Is Yoga Good For Back Pain?" My response is always the same...Maybe, Maybe Not...it just depends on the circumstances.
Sure, the major premise of Yoga is that the spine is the center of life...there is an outer reality and an inner one...and the nervous system is the doorway between them. The spine houses and protects the nervous system. So you want to keep the spine healthy and limber throughout your lifetime to keep the energy flowing.
In actuality, Yoga philosophy is very similar to Chiropractic philosophy...which is why the two healing arts work so well together. OK, OK....should I do Yoga for my back pain or not?
Well, it depends how bad your condition is, and what kind of physical shape you are in...and where you are learning the Yoga, and what type of Yoga...Blah Blah Blah. Is it from a video, your next door neighbor, or under the tutelage of a master practitioner??? There's a big difference.
Lets do this...Read this excellent article from the great www.Spine-health.com website and decide for yourself. The article is entitled:
If you think that it makes sense to try Yoga, give it a shot. If you are my patient and you would like a good referral in San Francisco, send an email to ebendavis@yahoo.com.
