What Makes Back Pain the "New Headache"

General
1

One of the most prevalent health issues in modern living is neck and back pain, which some doctors now refer to as the “new headache.” Similar to headaches, which were once the most common complaint for stress and exhaustion, back pain has become more prominent at a time of prolonged sitting, remote work, and decreased physical activity.

The fact that back pain isn’t usually associated with a single injury makes it complicated. Stress, poor posture, weak muscles, and screen-heavy lives can all be contributing factors. In contrast to an injury experienced in an accident, this type of pain develops gradually until it eventually becomes a normal part of life.

Fortunately, the majority of back discomfort may be avoided or controlled with a few easy steps:

  • maintaining an active lifestyle,
  • strengthening your core muscles,
  • utilizing ergonomic furniture,
  • taking frequent breaks from sitting.

Instead of ignoring back pain or popping quick painkillers, recognizing it early and making lifestyle changes can keep it from becoming a lifelong “new normal.”

We’ve traded mental strain for physical pain. Back pain isn’t just posture it’s our body’s way of saying, slow down

I had chronic back pain, which got slightly alleviated with ingestion of calcium tablets.I think calcium can considerably reduce back pain.
