Lower cross syndrome (LCS), aka, pelvic cross syndrome or the Unterkreuz syndrome, is similar to upper cross syndrome (UCS) in that it is also a pattern of strength imbalance between the front and back sides of the body. However, as the name implies, lower cross syndrome affects the lower aspect of the torso including the low back, abdomen, and pelvis. If you or someone you know is experiencing discomfort from lower cross syndrome, it can easily be corrected with the support of chiropractic care.

Even if you’re unfamiliar with the term “upper cross syndrome,” also known as “Forward Head Posture,” you’ve likely seen it or heard someone complaining about its adverse effects. The condition is more prevalent in the modern era due to advancements in technology changing our daily lifestyle habits. Fortunately, with proper guidance and preventive care, one can easily understand and reverse its detrimental effects.
