Back Pain Lying Down
Back Pain Lying Down CausesThe actual reasons why pain might begin or get worse when reclining vary greatly. There might be an anatomical reason for this occurrence, such as a fractured vertebrae or bruised muscle which might be sensitive to pressure. Maybe moving a particular area of the body places undue stress on a sensitized or pinched nerve. The anatomical possibilities are virtually endless, but do not represent the average case of lying down back pain.The body is designed to seek rest in a reclining position and most painful complaints feel better when resting. Back pain which flares up when a patient lies down is typically related to psychosomatic factors. Sleeping back pain, in particular, is almost always caused by repressed psycho-emotional issues creating a psychologically induced pain syndrome. Lying Down Back Pain TreatmentIf you have a verifiable physical cause of lying down pain, it is crucial to talk to your doctor about how you can remain pain free and still get your much needed rest. There must be some solution available and your care provider should help you to find it. For all other patients (95% of you reading this…), I highly recommend knowledge therapy as a means of understanding why your pain escalates illogically when you try to rest. Although the condition seems so anatomically motivated, the actual underlying source of symptoms is most likely ischemia enacted by a psychological process… Medical treatments have no hope of curing this type of pain, since they only address the symptomatic expression and do nothing to get to the root source.Back Pain Lying Down AdviceYou need to get some rest and relaxation. If this is difficult for you to achieve in a traditional reclining position, then experiment to find some relief. Try lying in different positions or even try a half seated / half lying position. Maybe a new mattress or pillow might be of assistance. While these products can be nice to own and may make anyone’s rest time more comfy, they are usually not the best answer for sleeping back pain. Any benefit imparted is likely to be derived mostly from the placebo effect.For these disturbing rest oriented dorsopathy issues, the answer to the pain almost always resides in the mind… NOT the back.
