Dehydration
Not many people realize that dehydration is also one of the causes of middle back pain. It is mainly due to the effect water has on the body as a whole. When the body is fully hydrated, you can expect it to be more effective and efficient with various bodily processes. Such things are thrown out the window when you don’t get enough water in your system, especially over long periods of time. Many people underestimate dehydration due to the lack of symptoms until it becomes severe, but middle back pain is one of the symptoms of dehydration and it can be intolerable. The gelatinous material that can be found in the spine can lose water due to dehydration, eventually leading to pinched nerves that can cause all sorts of painful symptoms.
Fortunately, the solution is simple: drink more water daily. Many people forget to drink enough water daily due to the lack of symptoms, and such a thing can continue for years until it finally causes a serious problem. As a rule of thumb, if you have to wonder if you’ve had enough water for the day, go ahead and drink another glass.
