Source text - English Lower Back Pain (LBP) is the most prevalent musculoskeletal condition, and has reached epidemic proportions according to the World Health Organization. Physical activity, opposed to bed rest, is prescribed as treatment for the condition. Yoga is currently enjoying increased popularity in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. Recent research studies have shown that the practice of Yoga – or Yoga Therapy – can be an efficient treatment for LBP. The main objective of this study was to access the results of scientific research that related the application of yoga therapy to prevent, alleviate the symptoms and align spinal deviation. Four studies were found and their results were presented. There was also the secondary purpose to try to explore the mechanisms responsible for the results. There is an urgent need to have Yoga recognized by the scientific community. Studies have demonstrated that the practice of Yoga develops strength and flexibility, but its effects appear to go beyond. A deeper analysis of the muscles in the region and those involved in the postures is necessary to determine the anatomical effects. The subtle effects should be accessed with specific questionnaires and tools. More and better studies are needed to establish Yoga as an efficient physical therapy.
Translation - Portuguese A dor lombar é a condição músculo-esquelética mais prevalente e, segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), atingiu níveis epidêmicos. Atividade física, em oposição ao repouso, parece ser indicada para o tratamento da dor. Yoga tem se tornado mais e mais popular entre os tratamentos utilizados para desequilíbrios da coluna vertebral. Estudos recentes sugerem que a prática do Yoga – ou a aplicação da yogaterapia - pode ser um método eficaz no tratamento da dor lombar não específica. O objetivo principal desta revisão foi apresentar um resumo dos resultados obtidos nos recentes estudos científicos realizados com relação à aplicação da yogaterapia para prevenir, aliviar o desconforto e alinhar os desequilíbrios causadores da dor lombar. Foram encontrados quatro estudos científicos e seus resultados foram apresentados resumidamente. Também se procurou explorar os mecanismos que podem ser responsáveis por estes resultados. Existe uma urgente necessidade de ter o Yoga melhor reconhecido pela comunidade médica e da saúde. A literatura encontrada demonstrou que a prática desenvolve força e flexibilidade, mas seus efeitos parecem ir mais além. Um estudo mais profundo e detalhado da musculatura da região e aquela envolvida nas posturas é necessário para determinar seus efeitos anatômicos. Os efeitos sutis poderiam ser acessados mais profundamente por instrumentos mais específicos. Mais e melhores estudos devem ser realizados para estabelecer o Yoga como uma terapia corporal eficiente.
