POSTURE

Posture is the position in which we hold our bodies while standing, sitting, or lying down. Good posture is the correct alignment of body parts supported by the right amount of muscle tension against gravity. Without posture and the muscles that control it, we would simply fall to the ground.

Assuming an abnormal postures may cause structural and physiological changes in the body, thereby resulting in skeletal deformities and chronic pain.

Chronic pain can be of different forms, that mostly can affect the neck (chronic cervical pain), upper back (thoracic pain), lumbar(low back pain), shoulder pain, wrist pain, knee pain etc.

These pains mostly arise as a result of poor posture.

Posture must be of much concerned in as much as chronic pain remains as a socio-economic burden.

Bad postures can result in the numerous skeletal deformities such as scoliosis, kyphosis, lordorsis, and sway back.
A good posture would prevent these deformities and chronic pain. Hence, functional activities done with good postures would create a serene environment for the body structures,thereby maintaining their function.

With all these awareness created on the impact of posture on the body, if due to bad posture, one develops any of the deformities and or chronic pain, then, physiotherapy is the best option to looking forward to in the treatment.

Avoid the use of opioids for managing pain; as this would have negative impact on human life.
Impact such as those of mental problems, addiction, recurrence(treat symptoms) than the root cause.

With Physio exercises, the body releases enkephalin, which is a component of pain killer medications free for the pain management with no side effect.

Contact any nearest physiotherapy centre for an exercise under supervision of physiotherapy technician, if you have chronic pain or skeletal spinal deformity that may trigger pain.

Lumbar spondylosis is a major contributing factor for low back pain

Fig. from google LUMBAR SPONDYLOSIS The spine contains about 31 vertebrae bones. Cervical (7), thoracic (12),Lumbar(5),Sacral(4),Coccyx (3). These bones lie on each other and separated from each other by cartilage containing fluid-filled substance called synovial fluid. This cartilage is found on the surfaces of each of the vertebrae bones articulating with each other in providing cushioning and serves as shock absorbers. It also prevents the bones from kissing each other, that may cause inflammation. Lumbar spondylosis is described as all degenerative conditions affecting the lumbar spine. This degenerative conditions may be disc degeneration, disc herniation, osteophytes growth, foramina stenosis and other inflammatory conditions affecting the lumbar spine. Lumbar spondylosis can affect persons as young as 20yrs. It can be seen as a cascade -Anatomical changes...

SCOLIOSIS CAN CAUSE SEVERE BACK PAIN

SCOLIOSIS The term scoliosis refers to Sideway curvature of the spine. The spine of a scoliotic patient curves either to the left or right side of the body. Thus, the spine curves laterally. The curve can be a single curve, like "C" shape or a double curve, like "S" shape. Scoliosis can affect both the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spine.(thoracolumbar scoliosis) It can be caused by some disease condition, but most of diagnosed scoliosis has an unknown cause.(idiopathic). The scoliosis on the right side of the body, that's when the patient lean to the right side of the body, is referred to as DEXTROSCOLIOSIS and that on the left side of the body is called LEVOCONVEX scoliosis. DIAGNOSIS X-RAY CT SCAN MRI. Mostly used is the X-ray due to low cost involved in X-ray and high cost involved in CT scan and MRI make them rarely used. Causes /risk factors of scoliosis_ ...
