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.
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).
Where does the lymphatic trunks from the lumbar region empty into?
Lymphatic trunks from the lumbar region empty into the Thoracic Duct.
What are the regions of the vertebral column?
The vertebral column is divided into five regions: cervical (neck), thoracic (chest), lumbar (lower back), sacral (pelvic), and coccygeal (tailbone). Each region has a specific number of vertebrae that provide support and flexibility to the spine.
4 parts of the thoracic cage?
this is most likely scoliosis I have this condition, I was sent for tests to confirm it and was offered an operation to straighten the spine but refused as the operation is very risky . doctors still don't know the main cause of scoliosis it literally is just "one of these things", and contradictary to myths scoliosis is not caused by bad posture. it can also be diagnosed at any age. do not worry about this if you have it, it doesn't restrict movement or quality of life :)30 degrees at the base near the tailbone, also known as the "arch" in your back.
Does scoliosis have a curve in it?
Scoliosis is curvature of the spine, either cervical, thoracic and lumbar
Were is scoliosis located in the spine?
Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. It can occur at any level of the spine, including the cervical (neck), thoracic (upper back), and lumbar (lower back) regions. The most common location for scoliosis is the thoracic spine, which is the upper and middle part of the back.
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.

treatment for mild scoliosis of cervico dorsal spine with convexity towards left side

What is mild levoconvex scoliosis of the mid lumbar spine?
Curvature of the vertebral column resulting from the column turning on its axis. The upper two vertebrae in the cervical spine, the atlas and the axis, differ from the other vertebrae because they are designed specifically for rotation. These two vertebrae are the reason your neck can move in so many directions. Mid Spine = Thoracic Lumbar Spine = Below the Thoracic vertebraes - your lumbar spine consists of 5 discs/vertebrae.
