Do you feel like your hips are pushed forward and your upper body leans back when you stand? You might be dealing withsway back posture—a common yet often overlooked postural issue that can lead to discomfort, fatigue, and long-term spinal problems. At Be Amazing ChiropracticinMayfield West, Newcastle,we help patients correct sway back posture naturally using advanced posture analysis and chiropractic techniques.
Sway back posture, also known as hyperlordosis or lumbopelvic misalignment, is a type of postural distortion where:
The pelvis is tilted posteriorly (backwards)
The hips shift forward of the midline
The upper trunk leans back to compensate
The lower back and upper back may become overly curved
This posture gives the appearance of "slouching" even when standing straight and can place undue stress on the lower back, pelvis, and mid-thoracic spine.
Hip painor tightness
Hamstring tightness
Weak abdominal muscles
Fatigue when standing or walking
Visible imbalance when viewed from the side
Sway back is often misdiagnosed or ignored because the curve looks less dramatic than scoliosis or kyphosis. However, it can still lead to serious spinal dysfunction if not corrected.
There are multiple factors that may contribute to sway back posture:
Prolonged sitting(desk jobs, driving)
Poor posturehabits
Muscle imbalances (weak core and glutes, tight hamstrings and lower back)
Injury compensation patterns
Hypermobile joints
Congenital or developmental postural changes
Sway back is common among adolescents during growth spurts and adults with sedentary lifestyles.
Sway back posture doesn’t exist in isolation. It can contribute to or be influenced by other conditions such as:
When your posture shifts out of alignment, it causes your body to compensate in other regions. That’s why our treatment doesn’t just focus on the lower back—we look at the full picture.
