As part of something called "Adult Spinal Deformity," we can find Flatback Syndrome. The spine is meant to have natural curvatures. Due to these curves, our spines are strong and able to distribute mechanical stress in the body. These curves facilitate spinal health and its optimal function too. That is why the spine needs these normal curvatures.
A kyphosis is part of the normal curvatures of the spine, and this one bends to the back side of the body. A lordosis is also a normal curve, but this one bends to the front side of the body.
These curvatures are meant to be in specific areas, the cervical and lumbar spine are meant to have a lordosis, and the thoracic spine is meant to have a kyphosis.
There is a range in which kyphosis and lordosis should be, to be considered healthy. If a curve is ever outside the normal range, it can impact the entire body's biomechanics, and more than one area of the spine and the body could be affected.
The normal or accepted ranges are:
-Cervical Lordosis 20-40 degrees
-Lumbar Lordosis 40-60 degrees
-Thoracic Kyphosis 20-40 degrees
Patients not part of this healthy curvature range could be diagnosed with Flatback Syndrome. This happens when the spine becomes abnormally straight, losing its healthy lordosis and kyphosis range from the side.
Some adults can also be diagnosed with Spinal Deformity, as the spine loses its normal sagittal alignment. That's why keeping mobility, especially in older patients, is so important to prevent spinal misalignment.
The most common symptoms of Flatback Syndrome are:
-Forward pitch posture
-Tight muscles in the back around the spine
-Fatigue
-Mobility issues
-Unable to stand up straight
-Head tilting forward
As patients age, this could be more of an impacting syndrome, even in the case of the patient's lifespan, because these patients are harder to keep up and moving. That's why a flatback syndrome patient who is elderly is a priority. They need to be able to stand, move and remain in movement for as much as possible.
When it comes to treatment, the most important is addressing the cause of the flatback, and this lies with the structure of the spine. Often patients are treated symptomatically, but structurally they are left untouched. These will lead to unsuccessful outcomes as the cause of the symptoms remains.
The proper approach involves specific rehabilitation, therapies, and treatment types to help restore normal alignment. For example, structural chiropractic care, physical therapy, core strength exercises, and exercises that address muscle imbalance.
If the treatment is not structurally focused, patients could feel better for a time, but they will not stay feeling better. That's why the treatment must be multimodal and combine all the therapies mentioned above for the best possible outcome.
At the Scoliosis Reduction Center, we combine all these treatments and therapies, making them complement each other. This helps us in the process of treating patients and helping them restore normal spinal curvatures and alignment, making our patient's spines as healthy and strong as possible to prevent the progression of flatback syndrome and prevent functional concerns as patients continue to age.
