What is Scoliosis? Scoliosis is a lateral spinal curvature in the frontal plane that is identified by the persistent lateral deviation of several vertebrae from the line of gravity in one or more regions of the spine. Types of Scoliosis: Curves can be divided into two categories: functional curves and structural curves. Functional curves are referred to as nonstructural curves because they can be resorted around if the underlying cause is addressed. These curves are the result of imbalances that can be fixed, like an imbalance in leg length or a muscle spasm.  As the name suggests, Structural curves involve modifications to the bone and soft tissue structures. Idiopathic Scoliosis:  Infantile (0 to 3 years), juvenile (4 to 10 years), and adolescent (older than 10 years) idiopathic scoliosis are classified according to the age at onset. Up to 4% of schoolchildren around the world are affected by the most common type of scoliosis, called adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Researchers hav

What does the term Lordosis mean? The spine's anterior curvature is known as lordosis. Excessive curvature of the lumbar spine can cause an increased lordosis, also known as hyperlordosis . It is a pathological exaggeration of the typical curves present in the cervical and lumbar spines. Causes of Increased Lordosis: Increased lordosis can be brought on by a variety of factors. Functional or postural deformity Lax muscles, particularly those in the abdomen, in conjunction with tight muscles, particularly those in the hip flexors or lumbar extensors a large belly brought on by being overweight or pregnant strong and typically tense muscles Spondylolisthesis Congenital issues, like bilateral congenital hip dislocation failure to segment the facet joint segment's neural arch  putting on high-heeled footwear Symptoms of Lordosis: Lower back pain Poor posture Stiffness (Stiff neck and back) Difficulty in standing and walking Restricted ROM Tingling and numbness Exaggerated lordosi
