Spinal alignment refers to the proper positioning of the spine in relation to the rest of the body. A well-aligned spine maintains its natural curves, which helps distribute weight evenly and reduces strain on muscles and ligaments. Good alignment can improve posture, enhance mobility, and decrease the risk of injury. When the spine is misaligned, it can lead to discomfort and various health issues, such as back pain or nerve compression. Maintaining spinal alignment can be supported through exercises, proper ergonomics, and regular check-ups with a chiropractor or physical therapist.
