Loss of lumbar lordosis?
Lordosis is a backward curvature of the spine, while kyphosis is a forward curvature of the spine. The term lumbar referrs to the lower back. In the lumbar region the back is supposed to have lordosis. So loss of lordosis is when the natural curvature of the spine is absent. In other words, instead of the normal and necessary inward curve, the spine is straight. This can lead to misalignment of the pelvis causing lower back or knee pain.
What is the effect of mild loss of lumbar lordosis is it a danger level does it need any surgery?
Mild loss of the lumbar lordosis is probably a result of spasm of the low back muscles (called paraspinal muscles). Lordosis is the normal curvature of the lumbar spine (the part of your spine in your low back. A lumbar lordosis usually curves so that the concave side faces your back and the convex side faces your front. With poor biomechanics, muscle spasm, or some injuries you can lose this natural curve. A loss of lumbar lordorsis is refered to as alordosis or hypolordosis. This by itself is generally not considered an indication for surgery. You may be able to restore your lordotic curve with some chiropractic techniques like Chiropractic Biophysics or Pettibon.

Below the thoracic region is the lumbar region which is commonly known as the low back. Excessive inwards curvature of this region is called a hyperlordosis.
