If you have back pain, you aren’t alone, about 80 percent of adults in the United States will experience lower back pain at some point. Treating back pain typically involves medication, including opioids, surgery, therapy and self-care options.
In a recent study, tai chi reduced acute lower back pain in males in their 20s and in the general community, tai chi showed greater reductions in pain intensity, symptoms, and pain-related disability.
Practicing Tai Chi may be a good self-care option that could result in less pain, the need for surgery and taking medications that have unwanted side-effects. It's worth a try!
