Fulltext PDFBackground: Mechanical low back pain (MLBP) is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder impacting a large portion of the global population. It often leads to disability and reduced quality of life. Among non-pharmacological treatment options, Yoga and Core Stabilization Exercises (CSE) have garnered attention for their therapeutic effects.
Objective: To compare the efficacy of Yoga and Core Stabilization Exercises in reducing pain and disability associated with mechanical low back pain.
Methods: This review synthesizes findings from randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and clinical guidelines published between 2010 and 2024. The outcomes assessed include pain intensity, functional disability, and quality of life.
Results: Both Yoga and CSE demonstrated significant improvements in pain reduction and functional outcomes. However, CSE showed superior outcomes in core muscle endurance, while Yoga provided broader psychosomatic benefits including reduced stress and improved flexibility.
Conclusion: While both interventions are effective, a combined physiotherapeutic approach incorporating both Yoga and CSE may offer the most comprehensive benefit for patients with MLBP.
