Back Pain, Neck Pain and Stress. What Black Women Need to Know | Dr. Amber Jackson

Physical inactivity is the fourth leading risk factor for death globally and most of us don't even know it. That back pain, that stiff neck, those tight shoulders? That is not normal. That is your body talking. And if you are a Black woman carrying chronic stress, your body has been trying to tell you something for a long time. In this episode, Dr. Amber Jackson, Doctor of Chiropractic, clinical researcher at Life University, and adjunct professor in the chiropractic sciences, breaks down the real connection between chronic stress and chronic pain, why Black women feel it differently, and the practical steps you can take today to reverse it. No gym required. You will learn why movement is medicine and not just something you do to lose weight, how chronic stress keeps your body locked in fight or flight making pain worse, what spinal hygiene is and why it matters as much as dental hygiene, the couch potato exercises that actually work for busy women, and how to start reversing pain with as little as three to five minutes a day. As Dr. Jackson says, pain is not random. Pain means pay attention inside. Something is going on. The good news is your body will answer you back when you give it what it needs.
