Many Fort Wayne chiropractic residents turn to yoga to relieve stress and pain with good reason. Researchers show that yoga improves the intensity of chronic lower back pain as well as the functional disability and depression that often goes with it. Participating patients even tend to reduce their use of medication to deal with the pain. (2) What a welcome relief that alone can be.

In a recent study, yoga for chronic lower back pain relief was compared to a self-care book and stretching classes. Yoga outperformed self-care – reducing pain, improving function, giving lasting relief for several months – but not the stretching classes.

Fort Wayne arthritis patients may even find yoga relieving. Yoga was found to be most beneficial for reducing symptoms like tender or swollen joints and pain and disability. It also improves participants’ ability to take care of themselves and their mental health. And best of all, no adverse effects were reported, and participants were more inclined to stick with it.
