Exploring the Relationship between Back Curvature and Pain/Dysfunction

Exploring the Relationship between Back Curvature and Pain/Dysfunction

Does an increase in back curvature lead to pain and dysfunction ?

Research released in June 2023 looked into our thoracic curvature ( the part of the back that's between the neck and low back) to see what happens when the curve is too big.

Neck Pain is the 4th leading cause of long-term disability, with nearly 1 in 3 people experiencing at least one episode a year.

Neck discomfort can be caused by ANY incident that alters joint mechanics or muscle function via alterations and increases in general loading and load sharing in the tissues of the neck and upper back

Neck pain is higher in those with an increase in upper back curvature and especially in young adults, over a 12-month study, they found the prevalence of neck pain to be between 42-67%.

- This can lead to muscle dysfunction in the serratus anterior, levator scapulae, and the trapezius

When the curve is 45 degrees or more in the back, there is an INCREASE chance of severe pain and disability

They Summerised the findings as people with long-term neck pain, had a forward head posture and an increase in their upper back curve leading to an ABNORMAL autonomic nervous system
