ProsmiamiUncategorized
Did you know that stress can cause back pain? The pathologies related to a human’s back can not only be generated by physical problems such as injuries, it is possible that they appear due to prolonged stress. Today, thanks to the existing studies on this matter, it is possible to conclude that stress is a factor that increases the risk of suffering back pain.

The back suffers a constant stress that, although in the short term does not generate any type of pain, can lead to numerous muscular contractures induced by the nervous tension. The stress causes the nerves to become rigid, causing the muscles to contract and the vertebrae to compress.
