Understanding The Causes Of Back Pain

By James Steele


Amidst all of the possible ailments you may have, back pain can be triggered in many ways. It is actually very easy to get a back injury because of the 20 separate vertebrae that each and every person has. Your upper, middle, and lower back is prone to injury which can cause pain. The purpose of this article is to identify some of the leading causes of back pain to help you understand why you might be suffering from it.

A consideration that many people do not make in regard to their back pain is that their mobile device could be causing it. Many people do not realize that laptops and smart phones can also cause younger people to have back issues early on in life. Devices such as these are not actually causing physical damage. It's the way we use them, which is often in uncomfortable positions. The way that you're back becomes injured is through repetitious motion, constantly bending over your laptop to communicate or holding your mobile device in such a way that it causes a strain. It really is only over time that we can correlate the fact that the use of our electronic devices is what is causing our back pain to not only occur, but get worse as time progresses.

Do you carry a briefcase or laptop with you? If you do, it is possible that the weight from this object or device may be causing the back pain that you are suffering from. It is not about just how much weight the object is, but the way that you carry it with you. The way that you carry your purse, if you have one, can also add to the back discomfort that you may experience. The less you carry, the better off you'll be. Another solution is to use suitcases with wheels, like people use when traveling. Today, many people are using bags and cases that can be rolled for everyday use, as it's a lot easier on your back than carrying everything around.

Anyone that has a lot of stress in their daily life can suffer from back pain. When you're tense, your muscles are also tense. Each person will have a different reaction to stress in their lives, which may develop as a backache, stiff neck, or an ailment somewhere else on the body. It's best to learn to release stress so it doesn't cause any physical symptoms. Throughout your body, stress can cause inflammation due to high levels of the hormone cortisol being released. To prevent stress from reaching these levels, you need to acknowledge that you are experiencing the stress that you feel. Stress has also been shown to sustain injuries that would otherwise heal much more quickly, which is another reason that you should get rid of the stress that bothers you.

Anyone that has back pain knows how difficult it is to reduce or eliminate it from their lives. By exercising too much everyday, or by not exercising at all, these problems can arise. Your pain might be caused by something as simple as your high heels, an old mattress, and a variety of other factors. If you do suffer from back pain, try to figure out what is producing it, and eliminate that routine directly from your life. By doing this, you should feel much better.
