Bad posture has a very bad impact on spine health. Go to www.IdealSpine.com for some more detailed information about how posture affects spine health.

Great question! Posture is HUGE in contributing to spinal health. Think of it this way, when you see a building it is straight and tall. But if that building begins to lean it will soon have gravity pulling down one side more than the other side. Cracks will start to appear. On the inside of the building, the electrical wiring is going to get kinked and twisted and bent and the electricity is going to have a hard time traveling through those areas to reach its destination be it a kitchen, living room or study. Are you following me? Now instead of a building put your body in a bad posture, we will have those cracks in the form of our head coming forward in front of our body like people who work a lot of computer or game a lot and you see a hump in the back. Again the nerve impulses have a hard time going to other parts of the body and you will start to get symptoms and hurt. Then we have to work in getting the pain away and correcting the posture so the symptoms dont come back. The pain is very bad! Its easier to correct the posture now and not have to go there in thr first place.

Poor posture strains your spine, leading to muscle imbalances, joint stress, and faster disc degeneration. Over time, this can cause chronic pain, reduced flexibility, and conditions like herniated discs or sciatica. Good posture aligns your spine, reduces wear and tear, and prevents long-term issues, keeping your back healthy and strong.

Any fixed posture will cause spinal degeneration

Bixby percent of your weight is translated into the disc in front. And fifty percent is on the facet joint in back. If there are biomechanical alterations you can expect either one of those areas to start to generating and it will continue, Just like a tree that hasn't been able to grow straight. There are a hundred and thirty one joints in the spine and nine hundred ligaments. Each one is reliant on the one above and below.
