Common Spine Problem WORSE Than Heart Disease and Diabetes?
Jan 29, 2025Did you know that Adult Spinal Deformity (ASD) has a bigger physical burden than diabetes, heart failure, and lung disease? It affects nearly seven in ten adults, yet most people don’t even realize they have it. Today, we’re breaking down what it is, how it impacts your health, and adult spinal deformity treatment
ASD isn’t just about posture—it’s a structural issue that can lead to chronic pain, mobility loss, and even organ dysfunction. It includes conditions like scoliosis, excessive forward head posture, flat back syndrome, and severe kyphosis (hunchback).
Many people assume these issues are just part of aging, but that’s not true. Left untreated, ASD can worsen, limiting movement and affecting overall well-being.
A major study in the European Spine Journal found that ASD has a greater impact on physical health than other common chronic diseases. Yet, it’s rarely talked about. If you see people struggling to stand upright or walk with a forward-leaning posture, chances are they have some form of ASD. The real problem? Most don’t know that non-surgical solutions exist.
Spinal alignment is key to keeping the body functioning properly. When the spine is misaligned, it puts excessive stress on the nervous system, which can contribute to pain, stiffness, and even issues with digestion, breathing, and circulation. Correcting these misalignments isn’t just about comfort—it’s about long-term health.
The good news? You don’t have to rely on surgery to fix spinal deformities. Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®) techniques have been shown to restore the spine’s natural curves using targeted exercises, adjustments, and traction. Similar to how braces realign teeth over time, these methods work to reshape the spine and reduce pressure on the nervous system.
If you’re dealing with chronic back pain, poor posture, or mobility issues, it’s time to take action.
