Back alignment refers to how the spine’s vertebrae are positioned and how they support your body’s posture and movement. Proper alignment keeps the spine’s natural curves — cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), and lumbar (lower back) — in balance, reducing strain on muscles, joints, and nerves.
Key aspects of good back alignment:
• Neutral spine: The head, shoulders, and hips are in a straight line when viewed from the side.
• Balanced posture: Weight is evenly distributed on both feet when standing.
• Core engagement: Strong abdominal and back muscles help maintain alignment.
• Proper ergonomics: Sitting or standing with correct posture supports spinal health.
Common causes of misalignment:
• Poor posture (slouching, leaning forward)
• Prolonged sitting or improper workstation setup
• Muscle imbalances or weakness
• Injuries or spinal conditions (like scoliosis or herniated discs)
Ways to improve alignment:
• Regular stretching and strengthening exercises
• Ergonomic adjustments to chairs, desks, and sleeping positions
• Chiropractic adjustments or physical therapy
• Mindful posture checks throughout the day
