Back pain can be a a huge variation of severity from a sore back that may go away overnight to an injury that may result in back surgery if the issue is not taken care of in a timely manner. Our backs are really our lifeline of our bodies. They are there to hold us up and allow us to move in all directions. Without a flexable spine there is really not much that we would be able to do.

There is not just one way that your back pain can accrue, in fact most people think that back pain only happens with an injury or when someone has a very intense or high labor bearing job. If in fact you were injured in a car accident or you hurt your back at work you should always come in for an evaluation. Injuries typically only get worse over time, even if initially it feels better, more could be going on. If you have a job where you are sitting all day you too have a high chance of back pain. Posture is a big thing that is typically overlooked or thought of as just for looks. A good posture helps to align your back and body how it was naturally meant to be held. when you have a bad posture it can put strain on your joints and muscles. If you have never worked on your posture before and you look to see just what a proper posture is you may find it hard to hold your body there. Muscles may get tired and you may feel a bit uncomfortable. Working out and proper workouts will help to have a good posture, especially having a strong core.
Sitting all day weather you are at a desk in an office job, driving a car or a truck all day or even if you are a pilot of an airplane, sitting all day comes with its risk of back pain and may even lead to back injuries if you are not taking proper care of your back. Lower back pain is typical for someone who is sitting all day however if you are typing or have your hands or arms elevated above your waist you are also at risk for tension or pain in your upper back, shoulders and more specifically right between and under your shoulder blades. This upper back pain is know to also spread to the neck. When your upper back pain spreads to the neck most people will typically feel it coming up the sides holding the tension in your Traps. Traps are the nick name for the Trapezius muscle and are mostly known as the muscle that is right above your shoulders. The trapezius muscle is actually more if a triangle with its three points being up the side of your neck, to your shoulder and down past your shoulder blade. This is a large muscle that does hold stress and takes on a lot of stress and motion throughout the day.
