Poor posture strains your spine, leading to muscle imbalances, joint stress, and faster disc degeneration. Over time, this can cause chronic pain, reduced flexibility, and conditions like herniated discs or sciatica. Good posture aligns your spine, reduces wear and tear, and prevents long-term issues, keeping your back healthy and strong.
Any fixed posture will cause spinal degeneration
Bixby percent of your weight is translated into the disc in front. And fifty percent is on the facet joint in back. If there are biomechanical alterations you can expect either one of those areas to start to generating and it will continue, Just like a tree that hasn't been able to grow straight. There are a hundred and thirty one joints in the spine and nine hundred ligaments. Each one is reliant on the one above and below.
