from the base of your neck to mid back is known as the thoracic spine and an excessive curvature of this region is called a kyphosis. Kyphosis looks like a "hump" when viewed from the side. 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.
