A tight psoas can cause serious postural problems: when you stand up, it pulls the low back vertebrae forward and down toward the femur, often resulting in lordosis (overarching in the lumbar spine), which is a common cause of low back pain and stiffness; it can also contribute to arthritis in
the lumbar facet joints.
A combination of tight muscles and an overarched back can lead to plenty of pain and damage to the lower back and
lumbar spine, like
facet joint damage, spondylolysis, spondylosis, herniated discs and posterior chain dysfunctions, just to name a few.
Injuries to the back and neck include Cervical Spine Injury,
Lumbar Spine Injury, Thoratic Spine Injury, Vertebrae Injuries, Interverebral Disc Injuries,
Facet Joint Injuries, Neural Foraminae Injuries, Spinal Cord Injuries, Nerve Root Injuries, Sacrum Injuries, Degenerative Disc Disease, Herniated Disc Injuries, Spinal Fractures, Bulging Discs, Back and Neck Strains and Whiplash.
