suffering from back pain

[Lauren]

I'm 24yrs. old girl and I'm suffering from back pain, particularly below my neck and in between my shoulders. Three yrs. back I met an accident, but it wasn't serious. I don't know what is the real cause for this pain?
I haven't seen any doctor for any medication.

Can I expect any help from yoga side?


Thanks
Lauren

Hello Lauren,

The first thing is to avoid strong tranquilizers and pain killers for the back pain, because sometimes pain killers alone do not help for mor than a specified time period. Botter consult a physician and get the injury checked and take only prescribed medicines. Massage will help. Yoga can help you very much. It helps in strengthening the lower back and the abdominals. Get ur back examined before starting yoga.
