Modern musculoskeletal problems (MMSP’s), that includes Life Style Orthopedic Problems (<50 years age group) and Geriatric Orthopedic Problems (>50 year age group), is steadily on the rise globally and encompasses a wide spectrum of conditions like neck pain, low back pain, RSI, arthritis, fibromyalgia, rheumatic diseases, osteoporosis etc. MMS problems are not only known to cause varying degrees of physical pain but causes mental and emotional disturbances leading to stress, anxiety and depression. This could adversely affect the quality of life and can be a great source of socio-economic burden to the society. Conventional treatment methods like drugs, physiotherapy and surgery cannot provide an effective answer as it fails to address the associated peculiar challenges of MMSP’s. Yoga, an ancient Indian art, is known for its holistic healing. Unlike other exercises which most of the times is one-dimensional, yoga provides a multidimensional approach which improves the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being of a person. It also helps in controlling the accompanying co-morbidities, co-musculoskeletal and co-mental conditions and reduces stress which enhances healing. 3 research publications of my clinical trial on the role of add-on yoga therapy, in osteoarthritis knees was chosen by AAOS in framing the 2013 Non-arthroplasty guidelines with a strong recommendation. Similarly my research has proved that yoga is a great value addition in the treatment of low back pain, common neck pain and osteoporosis. A first time path breaking research on fractures also showed that advanced yoga therapy accelerates fracture healing and reduces the rehabilitation time. So the need for a paradigm shift from the uni-dimensional conventional approach to a multidimensional evidence based wholistic approach, is certainly need of the hour in treating the MMSP’s and needs to be embraced globally.
