Yoga and medicine, used both separately and together, have tremendous healing benefits for patients, and can minimize pain and disability. We are currently conducting a study seeking a dose-response relationship between yoga and bone mineral density and bone quality, a more compendious measure of a bone's resistance to fracture. This study attempts to prove that properly chosen yoga poses can reverse osteoporosis without having negative effects on the joints. In addition, we hope to establish a dose-response relationship on the quantity and quality of yoga, and rise in bone mineral density, and possibly bone quality.

Back pain/Sciatica Report

Rational treatment of low back pain and sciatica requires identifying its cause, either neurological or musculoskeletal. Many make the mistake of thinking back pain can be treated without knowing its origin. You cannot treat sciatica overnight and the right sciatica treatment needs to be found to ensure that more damage isn't being done.

Spinal Stenosis Report

Although the symptoms may be literally identical, the treatment for central spinal stenosis is almost the opposite of what works for herniated disc. There is a large ligament at the back of the actual spinal canal which buckles with extension and actually narrows the space up to 63%. What works for spinal stenosis is flexion, something that for a herniated disc would be painful and possibly harmful!

Musculoskeletal Report

An estimated 80% of all back pain's causes lie here, in the musculoskeletal department. They include quadratus lumborum spasm, facet syndrome, tightness of the small muscles that hold the vertebrae together, and the vast array of postural disorders that can spring from obesity, weakness, scoliosis, or just slumping.

Sacroiliac Joint Derangement Report

The sacrum has the tough job of mediating between the lower extremities, devoted to stability and support, and the versatile and mobile upper torso, arms and head, which must move to perform their functions. Almost every weight-bearing joint in the body is horizontal, which, given gravity, just makes sense.
