Do Tight Muscles Flatten The Lower Back Curve? Low Back Pain & Sciatica

Do tight muscles flatten the lower back curve or is there more going on when you have sciatica or back pain?

The question of a flattened lower back curve, lumbar hypo-lordosis is one that can come up in conversation as a result of spinal imaging, say MRI or X-ray. Sometimes even statements as to the curvature in your lower back might be made after a physical examination. Examination from the surface, or more specifically postural examinations without imaging are however notoriously inaccurate, giving rise to many false conclusions. Examining on X-ray standing is the most accurate way of establishing the resting curve of an individual and constitutes a reliable method of evaluation.

Many times however, particularly on MRI's we've seen patients and members over the years who've been given the impression that tightness in their back muscles has caused the flattening of their lumbar spine, having this incorrect conclusion because most of the time it's been written in the report!

Shocking, but true...
