Washington state lawmakers recently passed a bill to implement stricter rules for prescribing pain medication — including back pain. The new legislation follows a report from the Office of National Drug Control Policy that reveals pain medication prescriptions rose nearly 50 percent from 2000 to 2009. Of the 116 million Americans affected by chronic pain, 1.7 million live in Washington state, according to the American Pain Foundation. This represents about one-fourth of the state’s population, spurring the lawmakers action.
Downward dog, grasshopper and cobra may not sound like pain relievers, but they are just three yoga moves that can help temporarily relieve chronic back pain.
