spinal alignment

Spinal alignment refers to how the vertebrae (bones) in your spine are properly positioned relative to each other. When well-aligned, the spine has natural curves that support balance, movement, and protect the nervous system. Good alignment helps prevent strain, reduces pain, and improves overall body function. Misalignment or poor posture can lead to discomfort, muscle fatigue, and longer-term issues. Maintaining proper spinal alignment involves keeping the head, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles in proper positioning, often aided by good posture, exercise, and ergonomic support. Proper alignment is essential for overall health and mobility.
