Hidden Stress-Back Pain Link: Emotional Strain Manifests
Chronic stress frequently triggers or worsens back pain by causing prolonged muscle tension, shallow breathing, and poor sleep patterns that create a self-reinforcing cycle. Emotional pressures from work, relationships, or anxiety tighten muscles in the neck, shoulders, and lower back, reducing flexibility and irritating spinal structures. The pain is physical but often rooted in mental triggers. Experts recommend holistic approaches combining movement, yoga, meditation, and counselling with physiotherapy or minimally invasive procedures like radiofrequency ablation to break the cycle.
