Scoliosis

However, LDS accompanied with thoracic lordosis and lumbar kyphosis (LK) is rare in clinic. No reports have reported LDS with thoracic lordosis and LK. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment of lordosis depends on how serious the curve is and how you got lordosis. [physiotherapiststralee.ie]

Abstract BACKGROUND Loss of lumbar lordosis (LL) is closely related to clinical symptoms and operative complications, however, few studies have identified its predictors. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
