3 Common Causes of Pain Along the Spine

By Genevieve Cunningham

Even if we don’t think about it or give it enough credit, the spine is one of the most important parts of the body. It performs so many functions, and we rely on it for our overall wellness. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the places that experiences pain the most often. If you find pain along the spine is a problem in your life, take a look at these three common causes, as well as an effective solution to keeping the spine well.

In the Head: Stress

We don’t normally think of the head as part of the spine, but the spine ends right at the base of the head. And when pain is felt in this area, it’s experienced as a headache. Headaches can be caused by a wide variety of problems, but one of the most common is excessive stress. When we’re overly stressed about anything -- work, family, time, money -- it can cause us to suffer from recurring headaches. One way to combat these kinds of headaches is by finding a stress relieving activity -- exercise, massage, meditation -- and then using it to lower stress levels on a daily basis.

In the Neck: Sleeping Problems

Neck pain is most often caused by poor sleeping habits. If the pillow or mattress doesn’t provide enough support, it can lead to quite a bit of discomfort in the neck. Buying new pillows, changing positions, and getting more sleep can certainly help to nip this pain in the bud. Be aware that this method may take a while, as it’s hard to change patterns of behavior that occur while you’re asleep.

In the Back: Overextending

Back pain can happen anywhere in the back, but it most often happens in the lower portion. And the most common reason is that we overextend it. Anytime that another part of our body needs help carrying out an action, we often rely on the lower back to pick up the slack. This means that it gets overworked and overtired, leading to stiffness and pain.

A One-Stop Solution

Luckily, chiropractic care may be able to help with all of these common situations. Any pain that is associated with the spine may be improved when a chiropractor releases restrictions in the vertebrae. Less pain and a general boost in health is common after care.
