While many orthopedic providers recommend spinal fusion surgery to treat recurring back pain, it may not be necessary for most patients. The surgery may temporarily relieve symptoms, but it doesn’t provide lasting pain relief. Fusing parts of your spine limits mobility, which can strain the rest of your back and cause significant pain.

Alcohol doesn’t directly hurt your back, but excessive drinking can cause problems for your spine. Heavy drinking makes you dehydrated, which reduces the water level in your discs. When discs start to shrink, the vertebrae in your spine start to rub together, irritating both the bones and surrounding nerves.

Spinal stenosis occurs when the small spaces inside your spine become compressed and put pressure on your spinal cord. This narrowing occurs gradually, but can cause significant pain.

Stenosis can be caused by age-related deterioration, arthritis, fractures, injuries, and other conditions that narrow the spinal canal.

If your shoes don’t fully support your weight or put more pressure on one part of your foot, your spine may become misaligned. This can cause pain, stiffness, and muscle tension.
