Alignment disorder refers to any deviation from the normal position or relationship of bones, joints, or body segments. It occurs when these structures are not properly aligned, which can affect movement, stability, and the mechanical function of the body.
Where it occurs:
• In the spine (e.g., kyphosis, lordosis, scoliosis)
• In the lower limbs (e.g., genu varum or genu valgum, flatfoot)
• In the shoulders, pelvis, and hips due to poor posture or muscle imbalance
