Abstract

Back pain stands as a prevalent and pervasive ailment afflicting a substantial global demographic. Conventional therapeutic modalities encompass pharmaceutical agents, physiotherapeutic interventions, and surgical procedures. In recent times, alternate methodologies, including yoga and acupuncture, have garnered substantial attention due to their purported capacity to ameliorate back pain and enhance holistic well-being. The present scholarly inquiry undertakes an exploration into the efficaciousness of yoga and acupuncture as non-pharmacological modalities for the management of back pain. The investigation explores the inherent mechanistic underpinnings, empirical clinical substantiation, and conceivable merits associated with the assimilation of yoga and acupuncture into the habitual care regimen tailored for individuals contending with back pain. The contemplation of these interventions within the backdrop of their theoretical and empirical tenets underscores the potential utility of a diversified therapeutic armamentarium in the pursuit of back pain alleviation and overall recuperative enhancement.
