Other lordosis - what does this mean
Other lordosis is a spinal deformity in which the spine curves abnormally in an inward direction. it is caused by an imbalance of muscles and ligaments that support the spine, as well as an underlying medical condition such as scoliosis, spondylolisthesis, or a birth defect. other lordosis can also be caused by poor posture or carrying heavy objects.
What happens during the disease - other lordosis
Other lordosis is a condition in which the natural curve of the spine is exaggerated, resulting in an abnormally curved spine. it is typically caused by muscle imbalances or weakened muscles in the abdomen and back, which leads to an increased curvature of the spine. other potential causes include osteoporosis, trauma, and certain medical conditions, such as scoliosis. treatment for other lordosis typically involves physical therapy to strengthen the core muscles and improve posture, as well as medications to reduce inflammation and pain. surgery may be recommended in severe cases.
