A member asked:
Is yoga beneficial for lumbar pain due to l1-5 degenerative disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It may be: Be sure you find a good teacher and discuss your issue beforehand. I like anusara yoga because of all the verbal cuing. Also try osteopathic manipulation or cranial osteopathy for help with alignment and keeping things fluid (aao or cranial academy online). Keep good nutrition via anti-inflammatory diet (find online). Acupuncture may also be helpful.
