An intense work routine in a seated position can lead to spinal curvature and scoliosis. Curvature of the spine inevitably has a negative effect on the chest and pelvic bones. This leads to displacement of the internal organs and disturbances in their function.
1Possible complications of scoliosis
- Reduced lung volume and, as a result, chronic oxygen deficiency in the organs and tissues
- Increased blood pressure in the pulmonary circulation and right ventricular failure
- Chest pain
- Shortness of breath
- Bluish lips
- Weakness, fainting
- Impaired kidney function
- Inflammatory diseases of the urinary organs
- Impaired function of the spinal cord and spinal nerve roots
- Loss of sensation and muscle strength — up to and including paralysis
- Impaired function of the pelvic organs
One side of the rib cage protruding more than the other, unevenly positioned shoulder blades, and asymmetry of the pelvic bones not only look bad from the outside — they also lead to serious internal complications.
We look not at where the pain is, but at where it comes from.
