Common Body Postures Contribute to Musculoskeletal Dysfunction in Fanwood

There are four common types of non-structural misalignments of body posture in the sagittal plane (side view): lordotic (increased curve), kyphotic (reversed curve), flat-back (no curve), and sway-back postures (hips swayed forward and rib cage swayed backward).

Each posture can disturb optimal loading of the musculoskeletal system, which can lead to a condition that causes pain and disability.

As a result, experts recommend patients engage in postural corrective exercises in Fanwood to address any current complaints that may cause pain or discomfort as well as to reduce their risk for future issues.

Doctors of chiropractic are educated to detect these postures and prescribe exercises to address them.
