Summary
Flat back syndrome is a condition where the spine loses its normal lordotic curvature. It can occur naturally with age or as a result of spine surgery. The curvature of the spine is important for maintaining balance and distributing pressure evenly. Flat back syndrome can cause symptoms such as back pain, difficulty standing upright, and problems with posture. Treatment options include posture control, physical therapy, and in severe cases, surgery to correct the curvature.
