Lordosis and Kyphosis

Scoliosis can lead to Lordosis and Kyphosis. Here are some information about Lordosis and Kyphosis. 

Lordosis: an inward curvature on the lower part of the back. Lordosis of the lower back may be treated by strengthening the hip extensors on the back of the thighs, and by stretching the hip flexors on the front of the thighs.

Kyphosis: is the opposite of Lordosis, an outward curvature on the upper part of the back. May be treated by brace, physical therapy, or surgery.

Both could actually be treated by brace, physical therapy, or surgery. But for surgery it's a risk. If you feel/think you have scoliosis, lordosis, or kyphosis go see the doctor ASAP before it gets worse.

So first, what is scoliosis? What causes scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a medical condition in which a person's spine is curved to the side. Usually shaped like a S or C instead a straight line.

Scoliosis could be caused by genetics, or when a person like to sit, stand, and sleep in a wrong position which is to the side.
