Stress Hurts Your Back
Stress can have a significant impact on back pain by causing muscle tension, increasing the risk of injury, and exacerbating existing conditions. To prevent back pain related to stress, it’s important to manage stress through techniques such as exercise, meditation, deep breathing, and talking to a mental health professional. Additionally, maintaining good posture, engaging in regular physical activity, and taking breaks throughout the day can help reduce the impact of stress on the back. Staying active and maintaining a healthy weight can also help prevent back pain and other stress-related conditions. [via Spine Health]
