In yoga, basically, you improve and control your way of breathing; by controlling your breathing, you have an incredible awareness of every muscle and you can add or release tension off them in a really conscious way (because you are helping your lungs to reach their entire capacity to provide oxigen to every inch of your "humanity" ^^ ), allowing the natural painkillers in your body to take action, if you need it. Breathing exercises in yoga also helps you to prevent any kind of condition (which is more important than reduce pain ) I am not saying you should replace traditional medicine with yoga, this is just an alternative, and if you want, you could try it... with a good coaching, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. ;-) (not to mention the bunch of benefits you get by doing hatha yoga, which is a variety of physical, controlled and deep exercises... but again... how you breath has a huge importance ! )

Yoga is more than that, but these are just the benefits of the practice, Yoga is a philosophy of life leads us to a state resulting hyperconsciousness and paranormal as the Kundalini and Samadhi. Responding to the question yes helps improve breathing you can divert the conscious ofthe pain and control it "as the fast reflex that we have in hand when you hurt yourself" You choose the Yoga Yoga when you least expect he will choose You!
