Is Yoga Good for a Herniated Disc?
San Francisco Chiropractor and Herniated Disc Doctor Comments:
Yoga is very popular these days...and there are many different kinds. Some methods of Yoga are very gentle...some are advanced...and everything in between.
Anyway...I am often asked...Is it is OK to do Yoga with a herniated disc?
My answer is always...it depends. It depends on your particular condition. There are Yoga postures that might be perfect for you and actually enhance the healing process...and there are Yoga postures that may hurt you.
This is where an experienced Yoga teacher comes in. I used to have an onsite Yoga instructor at my Financial District Chiropractic Center. Sometimes Yoga made sense for herniated disc repair...sometimes it didn't.
I did a little research online and came up with this article on the Yoga Journal website entitled:
It's an excellent read. Check it out. Let me know if you have any experience with Yoga and disc herniations and if you know any really good instructors here in downtown San Francisco that I can refer patients to.
For a complimentary consultation with Dr. Eben Davis at Executive Express Chiropractic at the Embarcadero Center...simply call 415-392-2225, press 1 (24 hr live operator).
