For a healthy spine, the other joints that allow us to stand upright must also function properly. When standing still, we usually put our weight on one leg. This may not cause a problem for a short time, but if it continues for longer, the joints on the weight-bearing side have to carry the entire weight of the trunk, and they begin to deteriorate. The correct ways of bending forward, standing up, sitting and driving should be learned well and made part of our daily lives. Otherwise, the body's center of gravity and load distribution are disrupted, which leads to long-term joint disorders and pain.
Some posture disorders are structural. Curvature of the spine (scoliosis), a shorter leg on one side and disorders of the pelvis (hip bones) can also cause posture disorders. It is necessary to identify the cause of the posture disorder and treat it accordingly.
