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.
Mild levoconvex curvature of the lumbar spine refers to a subtle curvature where the spine bends to the left side in the lower back region (lumbar spine). This condition can be a variant of normal spinal alignment or may be associated with conditions like scoliosis. Generally, if the curvature is mild, it may not cause significant symptoms or require treatment, but monitoring and evaluation by a healthcare professional can help determine if any intervention is necessary.
It is mild. It might look somthing like this - /
Mild levoconvex scoliosis apex L4 refers to a slight curvature of the spine where the apex, or the highest point of the curve, is located at the fourth lumbar vertebra (L4). "Levoconvex" indicates that the convex side of the curve is oriented to the left. This condition may result in a subtle imbalance in the spinal alignment but is typically not severe. Management often involves monitoring and, in some cases, physical therapy to maintain spinal health.

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
A mild convex right thoracic scoliosis is when the spine is curved toward the right. It can be seen on an x-ray of the spine.

Actually, not a lot... It can mean something in a woman who is pregnant... in that repeated pregnancies can cause a worsening of the scoliosis... Since it is "mild", I doubt this person needs to worry. The spine is normally shaped like an "S", looking from the side... In scoliosis, the spine also twists and bows toward one side, or the other...
Not likely. Scoliosis isn't usually caused by accidents, but of a birth defect showing up near adolesence and gets worse and more visable over time.
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.
left leaning curvature
No. It is a curvature of the spine that can be very mild or severe. In severe cases, a metal rod can be implanted along the spine to keep it straight. In mild cases, a simple exercise routine can be used to strengthen the spine.
