Kyphosis and lordosis - what does this mean

Kyphosis and lordosis are postural deformities that occur when the spine curves abnormally. kyphosis is an exaggerated curve in the upper back, while lordosis is an exaggerated curve in the lower back. these deformities can be caused by muscle weakness or imbalances, poor posture, or underlying medical conditions such as scoliosis.

What happens during the disease - kyphosis and lordosis

Kyphosis and lordosis are two conditions that affect the curvature of the spine. kyphosis is an excessive outward curvature of the upper back, which can cause a rounded or "hump" appearance. lordosis is an excessive inward curvature of the lower back, which can cause an exaggerated arch in the lower spine. these conditions can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor posture, muscle imbalances, injury, and certain medical conditions. treatment for these conditions typically involves a combination of stretching, strengthening, and postural correction exercises, as well as lifestyle modifications.
