Clinical Management of Spinal Deformities and Orthotic Bracing

The human spine is a complex structure composed of 33 vertebrae arranged in cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal regions. In the normal anatomical state, the spine demonstrates four physiological curves: cervical lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis, and sacral kyphosis. These curvatures maintain balance, absorb shock, and allow flexibility and mobility.

When these curves are exaggerated, diminished, or altered by abnormal lateral deviations or rotational deformities, spinal
