Identifying what triggers your backbone pain helps in selecting the most effective relief strategy. We've compiled the most common causes based on our experience with natural pain management:
1. Arthritis & Age-related Changes
As we age, the cartilage in our spinal joints naturally wears down. This degenerative process can lead to osteoarthritis, causing inflammation, stiffness, and reduced flexibility. The spaces between vertebrae may narrow, putting pressure on nerves and creating chronic discomfort.
2. Poor Posture & Lifestyle Factors
Modern lifestyles contribute significantly to spinal pain relief needs. Extended periods of sitting, especially with poor posture, places excessive stress on your spine. Poor posture often triggers backbone pain through forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and slouching that create muscle imbalances leading to chronic pain patterns.
