Piercings (body art, i.e., with jewelry) are more and more widespread. They can induce various complications such as infections, allergies, headaches, and various skin, cartilage, or dental problems, and represent a public health problem. We draw attention to possible side effects resulting from face piercing complications observed on four young adults such as eye misalignment, decreased postural control efficiency, and non-specific chronic back pain with associated comorbidity. We found that the origin was pierced jewelry on the face. Removing the jewelry restored eye alignment, improved postural control, and alleviated back pain in a lasting way. We suggest that pierced facial jewelry can disturb somaesthetic signals driven by the trigeminal nerve, and thus interfere with central integration processes, notably in the cerebellum and the vestibular nucleus involved in postural control and eye alignment. Facial piercings could induce sensory–motor conflict, exacerbate, or precipitate a pre-existing undetermined conflict, which leads pain and complaints. These findings are significant for health; further investigations would be of interest.

“…In the present study, elderly individuals with GBVA were more likely to depend on visual information when faced with somatosensory disturbances, but elderly people with PBVA were forced to rely on their vestibular sensory system. Vuillerme et al [29] investigated the effects of balance under three visual feedback conditions (no visual feedback and a ratio between the center of pressure (COP) displacement on the screen and the actual COP displacement with scale displays of 2:1 and 10:1) and two support surfaces conditions (firm, form). The findings indicated that when somatosensory input from the feet is distorted by standing on a foam surface, none of the visual conditions significantly increase COP movement relative to the visual COP feedback conditions.…”

“…Postural control includes the alignment of body segments through muscular activity26 ) . The fluctuation of the COP measured via postural sway, however, seems to be independent of the “macroscopic” body posture and applies its own control strategies42, 43 ) . We know several scientific approaches able to explain the complex control strategies that body posture and postural sway are based on.…”

[Purpose] This study examined possible interrelationships between postural sway and posture parameters in children and adolescents with a particular focus on posture weakness. [Subjects and Methods] 308 healthy children and adolescents (124 girls, 184 boys, aged 12.3 ± 2.5 years) participated in the study. Posture parameters (posture index, head protrusion, trunk inclination) were determined based on posture photos in the sagittal plane. Postural sway was measured during 20 seconds on a force plate. The Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficients between the anthropometric and posture parameters and the sway path length (SPL) were calculated, as well as the coefficient of determination R2. [Results] There is a weak but significant correlation between age or body mass index of the test subjects and the SPL. There is no statistically significant correlation between posture parameters and the SPL. Children and adolescents with posture weakness do not exhibit a changed SPL. [Conclusion] Therefore, therapy of poor posture must be considered separately from therapeutic measures for the improvement of balance skills.
