Straight back syndrome, also called straight spine syndrome or flatback syndrome, is characterized by the lack of one or more normal curvatures of the spine. When this occurs, the spine can become abnormally straight, giving the body a pitched-forward posture, leading to chronic discomfort and difficulty while standing and doing daily duties, and should be addressed as soon as possible. Degenerative disc disorders, compression fractures, or ankylosing spondylitis can all induce flatback syndrome.
