The spine serves as the primary support structure of the human body, composed of multiple vertebrae that maintain natural physiological curves to facilitate posture and movement. Spinal curvature refers to the degree of curvature of the spine in its normal position. Ideally, the spine should appear straight from the front but show convexity and concavity from the side, aiding in shock absorption and balance. However, abnormal spinal curvature can lead to various health issues, including pain, muscle tension, and even spinal deformities such as scoliosis.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"http:\/\/www.forethoughtmed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/cobbangle-56a05ed35f9b58eba4b02649-1200x800.gif\" alt=\"Wie misst man die Kr\u00fcmmung der Wirbels\u00e4ule?\" class=\"wp-image-6919\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.forethoughtmed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/cobbangle-56a05ed35f9b58eba4b02649-1200x800.gif 1200w, http:\/\/www.forethoughtmed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/cobbangle-56a05ed35f9b58eba4b02649-600x400.gif 600w, http:\/\/www.forethoughtmed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/cobbangle-56a05ed35f9b58eba4b02649-768x512.gif 768w, http:\/\/www.forethoughtmed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/cobbangle-56a05ed35f9b58eba4b02649-1536x1024.gif 1536w, http:\/\/www.forethoughtmed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/cobbangle-56a05ed35f9b58eba4b02649-2048x1365.gif 2048w, http:\/\/www.forethoughtmed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/cobbangle-56a05ed35f9b58eba4b02649-18x12.gif 18w, http:\/\/www.forethoughtmed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/cobbangle-56a05ed35f9b58eba4b02649-1000x667.gif 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_74 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Inhalts\u00fcbersicht<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Inhaltsverzeichnis umschalten\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Umschalten auf<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseprofile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"http:\/\/www.forethoughtmed.com\/de\/how-to-measure-spine-curvature\/#Traditional_Methods_for_Measuring_Spinal_Curvature\" >Traditional Methods for Measuring Spinal Curvature<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"http:\/\/www.forethoughtmed.com\/de\/how-to-measure-spine-curvature\/#How_To_Measure_Spine_Curvature_Methods_for_Measuring_Spinal_Curvature_at_Home\" >How To Measure Spine Curvature?
