the spine is S curved but not if you look directly on towards you back. Only from the side view is it s curved. It dips in to you neck and out on your upper back then back in on lower back. But the spine should not curve any other way
The spine should look straight from the front
In reality almost everybody has at least a little bit of an S-shaped curve if you look from the front (on an Xray). It's how severe the curve is, that makes it bad. When it's bad enough to cause problems, or might cause problems, they call that condition "scoliosis"
Plus, for people who have enough of a scoliosis curve to matter, the curves you can see from the side usually are exaggerated -- you know, more curvy than they should be. This can add to the person's problems.
