Did you know that the source lies in your brain?
Anxiety, stress, and depression are problems for an estimated 30 to 45 percent of patients with chronic back pain, and an even higher percentage of back-pain patients who experienced early childhood adversity.
How does Your Brain Respond to Pain?
Once a pain signal reaches the brain, a number of things can happen. Certain parts of the brain stem (which connects the brain to the spinal cord) can inhibit or muffle incoming pain signals by the production of endorphins, which are morphine-like substances that occur naturally in the human body. Stress, excitement, and vigorous exercise are among the factors that may stimulate the production of endorphins. The impact of endorphins is why athletes may not notice the pain of a fairly serious injury until the "big" game is over. It is also why regular low-impact aerobic exercise (e.g. a riding stationary bike) can be an excellent method to help control chronic back pain.
