Back pain is frequently caused by poor posture while performing activities such as lifting heavy objects or sitting for an extended period of time. However, back pain can occur in the morning when you wake up. If not treated properly, back pain can worsen and interfere with your daily activities.

 

Causes of morning back pain

Have you ever woken up with back pain? Sleeping well is important for replenishing energy, but it can also cause back pain. This condition is usually caused by poor blood flow when you wake up. Some of the causes of back pain in the morning include:

Wrong sleeping position

Humans spend a third of their time sleeping, so both the duration and the proper sleeping position are critical for maintaining overall health. According to Spine Universe, sleeping in the wrong position is the most common cause of back pain when you wake up. The spine is naturally curved, so sleep in a comfortable position to maintain the curvature.

Sleeping on your stomach for too long can lead to back pain when you wake up. Sleeping on your side or back can make waking up more comfortable. If you sleep on your side, place a pillow between your knees to keep them in their natural curve while sleeping.

The mattress is too hard or too soft

Who would have thought that your choice of mattress could have such an impact on the quality of your sleep? A soft mattress is comfortable, but a mattress that is too soft cannot maintain your posture and support your body weight. A mattress that is too firm makes your body muscles uncomfortable, causing pain when you wake up. Choose a mattress that is soft but firm and able to support your weight.

Wrong waking position

If your sleeping position is correct and the mattress is comfortable enough, it's time to observe how you wake up. Getting out of bed in a hurry can also cause back pain. Therefore, when you wake up, it's best to move slowly to the side of the bed and then sit up with your hands supporting your body. This method can also reduce dizziness when you wake up. Once you're comfortable, you can get up and stand from the bed.

Fibromyalgia

According to Healthline, fibromyalgia is a musculoskeletal disorder that causes pain throughout the body. The exact cause is unknown, but experts believe it is closely linked to abnormalities in brain compounds. Signs and symptoms may vary in severity. Fibromyalgia symptoms include muscle pain throughout the body, but it is most commonly felt in the back and neck. The pain can be continuous and may feel like a stabbing or burning sensation. To address this, doctors will conduct a series of tests to establish a diagnosis and then prescribe various types of medication and physical therapy if necessary.

 

Back pain after waking up is more commonly caused by incorrect sleeping positions, waking up, and the type of mattress used while sleeping. However, other symptoms, such as fibromyalgia, can cause back pain as well. If, after improving your sleeping position and waking up, you continue to experience persistent back pain, see a doctor right away.
