By dint of recurrence, we say to ourselves that it will pass and the appointment which was to be made with the osteopath is once again postponed indefinitely. Big mistake ! 47% say they have regular back pain, an ailment that has its roots in many causes...
First of all, that damn upper back pain has a name, it's called in medical jargon “cervicalgia”. Where does it work? At the top left of the back (the trapezius and the shoulder blades), at the base of the neck, on the upper part of the spine or even the middle of the back. There are several reasons to explain the shooting pains of neck pain:muscle trauma (wear, stretching or tearing), intensive use of the muscles of the upper back during intense physical activity or repetitive movement, poor posture , a disc deformity that presses on a nerve, bone diseases such as osteoporosis, inflammatory diseases such as osteoarthritis or ankylosing spondylitis, etc. Overweight, pregnancy and smoking are, in some cases, the cause of pain in the upper back. The pain located in the upper back can also be due to a referred pain, namely felt on an organ of the body while the pathology affects another organ. For example, in the case of heart or lung disease, it is common to feel pain in the back. There are also other more unexpected causes such as ulcers, psoriasis or vitamin D deficiency.
If a too heavy handbag, bad posture at work, a sudden bad gesture are possibly the cause of back pain, stress is an undeniable factor of neck pain. As you know, the body and the mind dialogue with each other and the muscles are rich in nerve endings. So when the brain under stress transmits too much information to the nerves, they are then saturated. The muscle will respond to it with a tenseness, a muscle contraction, which can be the cause of local pain or referred pain. Therefore, stress plays an important role in the appearance of back pain and when it is responsible for it, it can be the expression of a malaise, a nervous breakdown which then hides behind powerful pain. muscle; it is therefore necessary to act on the form and on the substance.
Thus, if your neck pain is related to stress, it is essential to learn to manage your emotions and to question your way of living. Bring sport back into your life to externalize your emotions, release your muscle tension and get rid of your stress. At work, take breaks and stretch. In the morning before leaving for work, take thirty seconds to stretch your spine. As such, a recent study published by the Boston Medical Center and published in the Journal of General Internal, indicated that yoga is a remedy for back pain and sleep disorders.
And of course if the problem persists, consult a specialist!
