Under Poor posture of the spine one understands a non-physiological posture as well as form of Spine for different reasons.
Although the Spine The physiological ones have to absorb an immense force and therefore also have to be stable Lordosis and Kyphosis also weak points. Because both forms of the spine can strengthen under certain circumstances. So can Lordosis and kyphosis be more curved than intended. This increased curvature causes the natural stability of the spine is unbalanced. With each increase in the curvature, the vertebral bodies are increasingly no longer parallel to one another, but in an increasingly tilted position. This leads to an imbalance in the distribution of forces and thus to increased pressure on the edges, which leads to further tilting of the vertebral bodies.

Who am I?
My name is dr. Nicolas Gumpert. I am a specialist in orthopedics and the founder of .
Various television programs and print media report regularly about my work. On HR television you can see me every 6 weeks live on "Hallo Hessen".
But now enough is indicated ;-)
The spine is difficult to treat. On the one hand it is exposed to high mechanical loads, on the other hand it has great mobility.
The treatment of the spine (e.g. herniated disc, facet syndrome, foramen stenosis, etc.) therefore requires a lot of experience.
I focus on a wide variety of diseases of the spine.
The aim of any treatment is treatment without surgery.
Which therapy achieves the best results in the long term can only be determined after looking at all of the information (Examination, X-ray, ultrasound, MRI, etc.) be assessed.

Besides the through unphysiological sitting There are still some diseases that are caused by postural damage Spine poor posture being able to lead. Of the ankylosing spondylitis is a Autoimmune diseasethat runs in spurts and becomes strong especially at a young age Back pain leads. As people get older, the spine begins to stiffen (so-called bamboo spine). Elderly people with Bechterew disease in particular can be recognized by the fact that some of them walk forward, bent over far. There is no cure for the disease, one can try Cortisone and pain relievers to achieve symptomatic relief.
It is best not to get bad posture in the first place. This helps with people who are often seated frequent stretching, because you can't completely prevent yourself from automatically falling into mild kyphosis. The best stretch exercise is to try the Sit with your fingertips to reach the ceiling. This exercise should be repeated several times a day. The kneeling chair, in which you adopt a kneeling sitting posture, is supposed to bring relief for people who are often seated move make it straighter.

Poor posture on the spine are common diseases especially in western countries. The Spinewhich is supposed to cushion great forces every day and which, among other things, responsible for walking upright consists of concave and convex Areas. What has static reasons on the one hand is also the weak point at the same time. Because especially in the case of people who are often seated, the Kyphosis and Lordosis marked areas of the spine and become unstable. If there is an increase Tipping of the vertebral bodies and thus to instabilitypostural damage progresses rapidly if no active countermeasures are taken. The most common bad posture is that Kyphosis (also known as a hump), especially in Thoracic spine area. The Lordosis (also known as a hollow back) is then the second most common bad posture. A S-shaped lateral curvature the spine is also called Scoliosis designated. It is also accompanied by a rotation around its own axis (rotation). The first treatment options would be physiotherapeutic exercisefrom strengthening the muscle strands along the spine and from Stretching and stretching exercises consists. In extreme cases, severe kyphosis and scoliosis also lead to Narrowing of the spinal canal (Spinal stenosis) and to put pressure on the nerve fibers. Neurological failures are the consequence. In this case, surgery must always be considered. The vertebral bodies of the affected area are detached from one another and screwed together again in a straight position. However, this means that the vertebral bodies are stiffened at this point and can no longer be moved. Requirement for an operation is that the patient is no longer in the growth phase. So young people and children would be operated more cautiously. There is also the possibility to start with Corsets trying to bring the spine back into a straight position. But there is one requirement Wear time of ¾ of the daywhich doesn't exactly encourage patient cooperation. The success of corset treatments is also rather poor.
The Prevention of bad posture is therefore extremely important. Frequently seated people should do regular stretching exercises during the day (Reach for the ceiling with your fingertips). That too Using a knee chair should improve posture and thus relieve the spine.
