Flatback Syndrome

Flatback syndrome is a condition where the natural curve of the lower spine (lumbar lordosis) is reduced or lost, causing the spine to appear straight and forcing the upper body to lean forward. This imbalance can lead to chronic back pain, fatigue, difficulty standing upright, and limited mobility. It often results from previous spinal surgeries, degenerative disc disease, or congenital spine conditions.

Treatment Options

Using advanced imaging and posture analysis, we evaluate the extent of the spinal imbalance and create a personalized treatment plan. Nonsurgical options may include physical therapy, posture training, and pain management. In more advanced cases, surgical correction may be necessary to restore proper spinal alignment and improve function. Our goal is to reduce pain, improve balance, and help you return to daily activities with greater ease and comfort.
