In the USA alone, an estimated 31 million people currently suffer
from back pain, and better than 50% of Americans report some back
pain each and every year. And, within the last five years, statistics
indicate that around one third of Americans over the age of 18 have
visited the doctor with back pain complaints.
These statistics beg the question, "why do our backs hurt all the
time"? The answer proves to be multifaceted. We suffer from chronic
back and neck pain for a plethora of reasons; not the least of which
is the fact that we spend way too much time sitting on our rear
ends!
When you lead a sedentary lifestyle, your muscles and surrounding
tissues begin to disintegrate and can actually atrophy. When this
occurs, any kind of activity can create strain that causes chronic
back pain. Your body depends on activity to remain healthy, but
not just any activity, the right activity. You see, exercise helps
to keep all the systems of your body working smoothly. That fact
holds true for, not only your joints and muscles, but for your neurological
and lymphatic systems as well. Let's take a look at some other contributing
factors to your chronic back and neck pain.
Nutritional forces that affect back pain come secondary to injury.
That's right, the foods you eat (and don't eat) have a direct effect
on your pain.
Many people try to eliminate all fats from their diet, but your
body actually needs some fat to work properly. Too little fat in
your diet can be a major catalyst for your chronic pain, including
your back and neck.
Many people do their best to pack as much protein into their diet
as possible. You may be surprised to learn that consuming too much
protein can contribute to the development of ketoacidosis - a harmful
physiological process that breaks down tissue, contributes to arthritis
and, chronic back and neck pain!
Emotional strain can wreak havoc on your spine as well. Many people
carry tension in their neck and back. If you're among this group,
you're well aware that stress can manifest itself into serious chronic
back pain.
The problems mentioned here are just drops in the bucket compared
to the compiled list of factors that may be contributing to your
pain.
Summing it up, your chronic back pain, your neck pain, your upper,
lower, and middle back tension, your sciatica, and your aches in
general can be directly contributed to a sedentary lifestyle, emotional
strain, injury, and nutritional voids.
In short, everything you do can potentially contribute to your
pain - on the flipside, everything you do can also contribute to
your healing!
The good news is that there is hope for finding relief and help
to get rid of your chronic back pain. A little time and effort geared
towards learning more about the causes of your chronic back pain
(and the best ways to eliminate that pain) can produce some awesome
results.
After all , what could be more important than feeling great and
living your life to the fullest as a result?
