How Stress is Worsening Your Back Pain—And What You Can Do About It

Back pain isn’t just a physical issue—it’s closely tied to our emotional and mental well-being. In fact, one of the most overlooked causes of persistent back pain is stress. If you’ve been struggling to get your pain under control despite trying multiple solutions, it may be time to consider how stress might be affecting your condition. 

The Hidden Link Between Stress and Back Pain

When we’re stressed, our bodies go into a “fight or flight” mode, which often leads to muscle tension. Over time, this tension builds up in areas like the neck, shoulders, and lower back. For those already dealing with back pain, stress acts like fuel to the fire, intensifying discomfort and making it harder to manage.

Shooting back pain at work

In some cases, chronic stress can even lead to conditions like tension myositis syndrome (TMS), where emotional factors manifest as real physical pain. This mind-body connection is why many people find their back pain flaring up during particularly stressful periods in their lives. 

Breaking the Cycle: How to Manage Stress for Better Back Health

Understanding the role stress plays in back pain opens the door to holistic management strategies. Incorporating stress-relief practices like mindfulness meditation, yoga, or even simple deep-breathing exercises can significantly reduce muscle tension and, in turn, alleviate pain. At SEVA Healthcare, we often recommend these complementary approaches as part of a comprehensive pain management plan.

Prioritizing mental health and learning to navigate stress better could be the missing piece in your back pain puzzle. By integrating techniques like regular exercise, better sleep habits, and mental relaxation into your routine, you’ll not only feel better mentally, but also experience relief in your back pain.
