Emotional stress and the lower back

“There are studies that have shown that chronic pain can not only stem from a physical injury but also due to stress and emotional issues” – Dr. Susanne Babbel for Psychology Today said: “Often, physical pain serves to warn the person that there is still emotional work to be done.”

Those who experience stress and anxiety tense and contract their muscles, causing fatigue and cramps over time. Therefore, many people use the wrong medicine for their chronic pain.

According to Dr. Babbel’s theory, this is what your body is telling you regarding:

The Lower Back

Lower back pain may originate from the fear of loss or an obsession with money. Financial worries affect health and relationships, but remember that money does not buy happiness. You do not need wealth to be happy now. Do what you love so that you can have joy, and the profits will come.

De-stress to Heal

The next time pain comes, try to relax instead of taking medication. Heal the source of the pain by reducing anxiety and stress. The physical body is sending you a message about your emotions. Do not silence the messenger with a pill. Listen to your body because it wants the best for you.
