How to Deal with Middle Back Pain in the Morning?

Do you feel severe middle back pain when you wake up in the morning? Waking up with back pain can be quite frustrating, but it is usually not caused by anything serious.Any one of the following could be the potential causes of your morning pain along the back:

1) Inflammation in the back

Sometimes inflammation in the tissues of back occurs due to autoimmune causes, which is a serious problem that needs attention.

2) Inflammaging

It is the process of a slow and steady rise in the inflammatory processes with the advancing age.

3) Myofascial Pain Syndrome

It is also known as fibromyalgia, which is an emerging cause of middle back pain in the morning.

4) Awkward Sleeping Posture

Having a poor sleeping posture is perhaps the most common and well-established cause of waking up with severe back pain and discomfort. This happens so because repeated pressure is exerted to the vertebral column, especially if you have a tendency of sleeping on your side.

If you’re a side sleeper, the back muscles and ligaments have to work more to stabilize the vertebral column.

You may try other sleeping positions, although it is best to avoid having to sleep on your stomach, as this can impact your sleep quality, lead to aches and pains, as well as other issues.

 

5) Obesity

6) Muscle sprains and strains

Heavy weight-lifting practices without using proper techniques the day before the pain occurs easily causes spraining or straining to the back.

7) Herniated discs

When the inner jelly-like material of a disc comes out of the outer ring, this condition is termed as disc herniation.

8) Osteoarthritis

9) Aging

Older persons are more prone to suffer from back pain because the changes that occur due to wear and tear in the joints and cartilages, which are aggravated with advancing age.

10) Injuries

The thoracic region is quite rigid and structured so there are less chances of injury to the mid-region of the back, but it is still possible.

11) Degenerative Disc Disease

This medical condition usually occurs due to age-related wear and tear (degeneration), as the name suggests, as well as long periods of physical stress that is placed on the spinal discs.
