Spinal angulation

Spinal angulation is the alteration of the normal alignment of the vertebrae, resulting in pathological bending or angular deformity of the spine. It may occur due to injuries, fractures, congenital abnormalities, degenerative changes, or conditions such as scoliosis. Spinal angulation can affect body posture, mobility, and the mechanical loading of the spine. Assessment is mainly performed through radiographic evaluation and measurements of the deformity. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity and may include observation, physiotherapy, or surgical correction.
