The lumbar spine is crucial for maintaining movement, stability, and nerve function of your musculoskeletal system. It contains the nerve roots that supply the lower limb, such as those that control the knee and ankle muscles.

When a lumbar misalignment occurs, it can affect the signalling ability of your nerves, causing muscle imbalances, joint instability that aggravates into knee and ankle pain, in some cases even the shoulders and neck as well. A proper lumbar alignment is the key to maintaining a balanced movement, joint health and overall mobility.
