| Abstract: | The article focuses on the comparison of yoga, exercise, and education for the treatment of chronic low back pain. Low back pain is a common problem and its treatment options include educating patients about ways to prevent back injury and to deal with back pain. 101 patients between 20 and 64 years of age were studied to compare the effectiveness of yoga, traditional exercise, and an educational book for people with chronic low back pain. The study reveals that the yoga appears to be more effective than traditional exercise or an educational book for improving function and pain in patients with chronic low back pain. |
