How Poor Posture Contributes To Back Pain
When your spine is not in proper alignment, the muscles, ligaments, and joints areall under excessivestrain, causing most episodes of backpain. The lower back supports most of the weight of the body and therefore is the most vulnerable to the effects of poor posture. Discs, which provide support between the spinal bones (vertebrae), are alsoaffectedbypoorposture.However,withgoodposture, thespine is in properalignmentand theshockabsorbingdiscsare lesssubject to injury. Often with poor posture, the spine will become fixed in an abnormal position. This leads to the constriction of blood vessels and nerves over time.Furthermore,thiscausesproblemswiththe joints,discs,andmuscles. It is important to take care of your spine. Good posture eliminates many of thehealthproblems thatcandevelopwhen thespinehasanunhealthy posture.
