Lower back pain can be eased by stress management, physical therapy and medications by 90%, but most insurance companies will not cover the expense of physical therapy which costs between $75.00 to $125.00 a session. According to Annals of Internal Medication Yoga, combining both stress management and physical activity is more cost effective than traditional stress management and physical therapy treatments. A study completed on 320 participants with lower back pain concluded that taking weekly yoga classes were equally beneficial as taking physical therapy, more cost effective and the benefits lasted a year after the study was complete.
Key Takeaways:
- Yoga has remained a popular activity for many people. It appeals to people of all ages because it is simply fun.
- But Yoga also has the potential to ease back pain. Anyone suffering from back pain will be in luck after trying it.
- Stress relief and physical therapy are always important techniques. They may feature prominently for those trying Yoga for themselves in home.
