Regain your natural posture and relieve chronic back pain with advanced, minimally invasive care for flatback syndrome.
Flatback Syndrome is a condition where the natural curve of the lower spine becomes flattened, causing the upper body to lean forward. This can result from prior spinal surgeries (such as fusion procedures), degenerative disc disease, or adult spinal deformity. Over time, the imbalance affects posture, mobility, and quality of life, leading to fatigue, back and leg pain, and difficulty standing upright for long periods.
Dr. Yashar and his compassionate team in Los Angeles combine advanced diagnostics, personalized care, and state-of-the-art surgical techniques to restore proper spinal alignment and help you stand tall, move comfortably, and live without constant pain.
When spinal alignment is off, your entire body feels it. Common signs of Flatback Syndrome include:
The most effective treatment for Flatback Syndrome typically involves spinal realignment surgery. As the best motion preservation spine surgeon in Los Angeles, Dr. Parham Yashar uses advanced techniques to restore your spine’s natural curvature. Depending on the severity of the condition, this may involve revising prior fusions, extending instrumentation, or using minimally invasive methods to reduce recovery time. Robotic-assisted technology and motion-preserving approaches help Dr. Yashar provide long-term relief while protecting surrounding healthy structures.
Flatback Syndrome often develops after outdated fusion techniques or poorly aligned instrumentation that alter the spine’s natural lumbar curve, leading to imbalance and discomfort.
In mild cases, physical therapy, posture correction, and pain management may provide temporary relief. However, structural imbalance usually requires surgical correction for long-term improvement.
Recovery time depends on the complexity of your surgery. Most patients can begin gentle movement within a few days and see significant improvement in posture and pain over the following months.
