Back Pain, Sciatica and
Stress
There is a connection between stress health and back
pain.
One of the more confusing aspects of sciatica and
back pain is that:
- The causes of sciatica and back pain are often not
obvious to an ordinary doctor, even with the benefit
of X-rays (unless you have incurred an obvious, recent
injury).
- Even back specialists are sometimes unable to pinpoint
the precise causes of back pain (and I know this from
specific experience).
On the other hand the negative impacts of long term stress
on the body are understood.
Because your spine is such a complex, delicately balanced
structure, prolonged stress can cause many effects, including
sciatica and back pain, because the tension resulting from
stress stops the spinal structure from functioning correctly.
Muscles get stiff, they pull in the wrong direction at the
wrong time so something has to give.
Learn about the impact of stress and how to reduce it and
help reduce back pain.
