How Covid-19 Affects Back Pain
Covid-19 has had a lasting set of symptoms from respiratory to neurological issues, including a surprising amount of lower back pain. A sedentary lifestyle brought millions of people related ailments, from arthritis to lumbar and pelvic pain, and psychological effects became prevalent, including agoraphobia (or the fear of crowds), increased Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, social anxiety, and generalized anxiety. These phenomena affect our mental and emotional well-being and can also manifest themselves in the human body, whether it is a psychosomatic rash, or any number of aches and pains resulting from the combination of the pandemic and negative emotions. The diagnosis, treatment, and management of such pain require a holistic approach as well as a sympathetic listener.
