Spinal Displacement

Did you know that sitting in the wrong posture for long periods, frequently lifting heavy objects, or constantly bending or looking up can lead to spinal displacement?

Joint degeneration is another contributing factor, as it reduces the stability of the spine, causing it to shift out of its normal alignment and compress nearby nerves.

Neglecting the Condition May Lead to Loss of Bowel or Bladder Control

If chronic pain persists and worsens when bending or looking upward, it may indicate that the displaced spine is compressing surrounding nerves. This can cause:

  • Shooting pain down the legs

  • Numbness

  • Muscle weakness

  • Difficulty walking

In severe cases, nerve compression can lead to loss of control over urination or bowel movements, which is a medical emergency.

Risk Factors That Contribute to Spinal Displacement

  • Frequently lifting heavy objects with improper posture

  • Excess body weight

  • Maintaining incorrect posture for prolonged periods at work

  • Spinal injuries or accidents

Surgery Is Not Always Necessary

In the early stages, doctors typically begin with conservative treatments, such as:

  • Pain-relief medication

  • Physical therapy

  • Back support devices

  • Back muscle–strengthening exercises

However, if the patient experiences leg weakness, surgery may be recommended. Surgical intervention involves stabilizing the spine with metal fixation to realign the joints and reduce nerve compression.

Maintaining Spinal Health Is Not Difficult

To keep your spine strong and healthy:

  • Exercise regularly to strengthen the back and core muscles

  • Maintain a healthy body weight

  • Avoid sudden jolting movements, jumping, or lifting with improper posture

  • Use proper ergonomics to prevent spinal degeneration
