A member asked:
Can a pulled back muscle decrease your height ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Focal lumbar or thoracic strains can cause temporary spasms resulting in discomfort when trying to stand erect. Resulting compensatory posture might suggest loss of height but merely is a temporary reversible issue that does not result in permanent structural changes.
