The Association Between Cervical Kyphosis and Degenerative Disc Disease (SADD)

3757

Spinal arthritis and degenerative disc disease (SADD) is a common condition affecting people today. This study from Chiropractic BioPhysics® is a model of the cervical spine in the Sagittal plane. The model predicted that alterations (kyphosis or reversals) in the cervical curvature (lordosis is normal) will increase the stress (force per area) acting on the cervical vertebra. In patients with reversed cervical curves, the stresses are 3-13 times greater than they should be compared to normal. This will increase the rate at which spine tissues will develop SADD.

For those patients interested in a patient-centered approach to spine and posture correction, please consider finding a ‪#‎CBPtrained‬ or‪#‎ChiropracticBioPhysics‬‪#‎chiropractor‬ in your area by visiting:
