    This is assuming that back pain is not indicative of any underlying issue.

      Yes and no. Your brain learns things and strengthens connections from more exposure, which means that you can learn to be more sensitive to chronic pain over time. That means that the longer you have it, the worse it can get, even if it’s not physically getting worse.

      So you need to unlearn how to feel that pain to get relief, as well as resolving any physical issues. If the physical issues aren’t possible to resolve, you can still learn to be less sensitive to the pain in general.
