Understanding What Are Psycho- Emotional Stressors

These are psychological factors that can cause stress. These may trigger lower back pain in some instances. These include:

Anxiety – chronic worrying and fear about what could happen in the future can cause physical tension in the body, leading to back pain.
Depression can lead to physical tension in the body and reduced ability to attend to lifestyle factors that may reduce pain.
Life events and changes – major life transitions such as the death of a loved one, job loss, or moving residence can cause stress and lower back pain.
Workplace-related stressors – long working hours, salary issues, or feeling unsupported by colleagues can lead to stress and physical tension in the body.
Relationship problems – arguments with a partner, family conflict, or feeling isolated from others can cause stress-related back pain.
