Chronic pain is a persistent problem that affects millions of people and has a range of possible causes, from injuries to arthritis.
There is a growing body of research demonstrating that practicing yoga could help reduce many types of chronic pain.
In one study, 42 individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome either received a wrist splint or did yoga for eight weeks.
At the end of the study, yoga was found to be more effective in reducing pain and improving grip strength than wrist splinting.
Another study in 2005 showed that yoga could help decrease pain and improve physical function in participants with osteoarthritis of the knees.
Although more research is needed, incorporating yoga into your daily routine may be beneficial for those who suffer from chronic pain.
