Although this structure is considered physiological, it can be influenced by many factors—accidents or other external forces, chronic mineral deficiencies, chronic poor posture and so on. All these factors have an impact on the structure of the spine, and consequently, the function of the nervous system it contains, in the short, medium, and long term.

Where it gets interesting is when the poor posture/structural problems are improved. This has a strong influence on the autonomic control of peripheral tissues and thus can have a positive effect on virtually all chronic diseases. This highlights how powerful our central nervous system is and how hard it tries to function for us. It is for this reason that knee pain resolves when the biomechanical burden of the spine is improved, even though the knee was never touched. This principle is applicable to all tissues, since the nerves from the spine reach and influence all cells of the human body. If you have an army that is losing a battle, you don’t replace a single soldier (that only happens in Hollywood movies), but rather you have the general issue different orders so that the entire army acts in a different way. Perhaps you can envision something similar for the functioning of the nervous system.
