In short, the spine in the person's lower back is curved or "bent" in a way that is not expected, ie. sideways.
Scoliosis is a sideways (for lack of a better word) curvature of the spine. ie. the spine bends in a way that it is not supposed to.
Proximal lumbar and distal thoraxic refer to indivdual vertibrae in the lower back at the end (distal) of the portion of vertibae that are reffered to as throaxic (of the thorax) these are assosicated with the chest; and the closest to your skull (most proximal) of the "lumbar" vertibrae which are in the region of your back between your hips and ribs, the lumbar region.

2 The Thoracic vertebrae is inferior to the lumbar vertebrae?
the thoracic spine is above the lumbar spine which means ALL thoracic vertebrae are superior to the lumbar vertebrae.
Which is the weakest part of the spine lumbar thoracic or cumbrain?
lumbar
What are the names of the five different types of vertebrae in the vertebral column?
Vertebrae are divided into sections: the atlas and axis account for the first cervical vertebrae, of which there are 7 in total; there are 12 thoracic vertebrae, 7 lumbar vertebrae, 1 sacrum (5 separate vertebrae in a baby), and 1 coccyx (4 separate vertebrae in a baby).
What are the regions of the vertebral column?
Cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, coccyx
Where does the lymphatic trunks from the lumbar region empty into?
Lymphatic trunks from the lumbar region empty into the Thoracic Duct.
Were is scoliosis located in the spine?
Scoliosis can be located in the cervical, thoracic or lumbar area of the spine Cervical = neck Thoracic = mid spine Lumbar = lower spine
Does scoliosis have a curve in it?
Scoliosis is curvature of the spine, either cervical, thoracic and lumbar
What is mild thoracic scoliosis?
Well, scoliosis is a curvature of the spine. The cervicothoracic part deals with the location of the curve. The cervical region is the neck, and the thoracic is the upper back. So the cervicothoracic scoliosis would be a curvature of the spine in the neck/upper back
What body system does scoliosis effect?
Scoliosis occurs mainly in the thoracic and thoraco-lumbar regions. Scoliosis also effects the muscular-skeletal body system.
What does it mean when the doctor says you have mild levoconvex lumbar scoliosis?
The Lumbar Curve effects the lower part of the spine and often curves to the left. This curve remains fairly flexible, but can stiffen with age and develop arthritis.A Lumbar curve does not often cause serious deformity.The Major Scoliosis Curve PatternsCurvature can take place anywhere along the length of the spinal column, however there are four most common patterns of curvature. To be able to use yoga effectively for your scoliosis, find out what pattern you have from an orthopedic surgeon or knowledgeable professional in this field. A. Right thoracic Scoliosis indicates that the major scoliosis is concentrated in the thoracic (mid-back) region and curves to the right. In the right thoracic scoliosis there may also be a counter curve to the left in the lumbar (lower back) region, but this is a less severe curve.B. Left lumbar Scoliosis indicates that the major curve is to the left and is concentrated in the lumbar region. There may be an opposite curve less extreme to the right in the thoracic region.C. Right thoraco-lumbar Scoliosis indicates that the major curve is to the right in the thoracic and lumbar region. This is commonly known as a "C" curve.D. Right thoracic-left lumbar Scoliosis The last type of curvature is the combined curve where the major curve is in the thoracic region with an equal counter curve to the left in the lumbar region. This is commonly known as an "S" curve.For unknown reasons, 90 percent of thoracic and double curves are right convexity (curve to the right); 80 percent of the thoraco-lumbar curves also are right convexity; and 70 percent of the lumbar curves are left convexity. There can also be triple curves with an additional lateral curve in the cervical or neck region. Also two or more lateral curves can be in the thoracic region of the back with a major lumbar curve. With a more severe scoliosis, seven times as many women as men have scoliosis.For a picture visit the Related Link.
