Curved spine and prolonged sitting. does it cause back pain?

No: A normal spine has three gentle curves-one in the neck, one in the mid-back, and one in the low back. If you have back pain with sitting, this is one sign of a torn or cracked disc. If the pain is severe or limiting your activity, see your doctor and get an mri.

Typically not: A small curvature of the back is typically not associated with back pain. You should be evaluated to make sure there is not a more serious underlying cause of your back pain.

Sometimes: In my clinical experience, prolonged sitting, even w/ normal spine can result in taught muscles, flexed vertebrae & injured/inflamed nerves.Injured ligaments also allow abnormal spine motion/hyperflexion during sitting, resulting in pain.Abnormal curves make the spine/muscles/nerves even more susceptible to such irritation.Osteopathic diagnosis, manipulation, prolo/neuroprolotherapy, etc. may help
