The impact of yoga and physical exercises on lumbar spondylosis: A comparative study

Vishvajeet Singh and Vikesh Kumar Kamra

Through yogic practices and physical exercises, the study hopes to reduce the disability levels of lumbar spondylosis. We have chosen 120 Northern Indian patients with lumbar spondylosis impairment. These patients were referred to us by physiotherapists. They split up the 120 patients into 3 groups. Under the skilled direction of the yoga instructor, Group A received yogic practices, Group B received physical exercises, and Group C received control. The control group received no activities at all. With the VAS questionnaire, we evaluated the disability levels caused by lumbar spondylosis. Our results after three months show that both yogic practices had a substantial impact on lowering impairment levels. In a similar vein, the group that engaged in physical exercises activity showed a statistically significant change in VAS scores over time, suggesting that physical exercise is a useful tool for lowering impairment levels. Pharmaceutical treatments for non-communicable disorders like lumbar spondylosis are not very helpful in treating these conditions. Our yogic and physical activities, as well as other complementary and alternative medicine methods, contributed significantly to the reduction of lumbar spondylosis disability levels. Further investigation into the fundamental processes and enduring effects of these interventions will enhance the quality of life for those with impairments.
