My spine is far from straight, if you run a finger down my spine, you can find many of the bones feel as if they are not aligned with the next bone. some to the left, some to the right. I don t suffer from major back pain, the odd bit of stiffness/pain if I have been sitting to long in an office chair but nothing that inhibits any movements. should I have my spine looked at? or is it ok to leave as long as its not giving me problems.
Hello! I read carefully your question and understand your concern. The spinal column deformations in different directions may often be asymptomatic. This may be your case. They become symptomatic when the disks get displaced and compress the nerves root. The stiffness try hat you feel on your back is caused by contractions of the spinal muscles and this may be a sign of the damage in your column. I would recommend having a X-ray of your column in all the levels in 2 directions to have a concrete overview of your problem. I would also advise having a lot of physical activity specific for the spinal column which is very helpful in reinforcing your back muscles and correcting your wrong position during work. Hope to have been of help. Best wishes!
