The lower spine, or lumbar region, is naturally concave due to its structural alignment, which helps distribute weight and provide stability to the body. This curvature, known as lordosis, allows for better shock absorption during movement and supports proper posture. It facilitates the balance between flexibility and strength in the lower back, aiding in activities such as walking and lifting. Any significant deviation from this natural curve can lead to discomfort or pain.

Name the 4 curves of the spine in order?
The four curves of the spine, in order from the top to the bottom, are the cervical curve (neck), thoracic curve (upper back), lumbar curve (lower back), and sacral curve (base of the spine). The cervical and lumbar curves are concave posteriorly, while the thoracic and sacral curves are concave anteriorly. These curves help distribute body weight and provide flexibility and balance to the spine.

What is a mild concave left curve in upper thoracic spine?
A mild concave left curve in the upper thoracic spine refers to a slight curvature of the spine that bows towards the left side in the thoracic region, which is the area of the spine between the neck and the lower back. This condition can be a type of scoliosis, where the spine deviates from its normal alignment. While it may not lead to significant symptoms or functional impairment, it can sometimes be associated with postural issues or discomfort. Regular monitoring and appropriate physical therapy may be recommended to manage any potential effects.

What is curvature convex of spine?
Curvature convexity of the spine refers to the direction in which the spine curves. A spine with a convex curvature means that the curve of the spine protrudes outward, while a concave curvature means the curve of the spine bends inward. It's important to monitor spinal curvature as abnormal curvatures can lead to various health issues.
What is scoliosis of the lumbar spine?
Scoliosis of the lumbar spine is an abnormal sideways curve in the spine of the lower back.

It's lumbar 4 and 5 - lower spine (the curved dip in your lower back).
What are the 3 natural curves of the spine?
When examining the spine you are looking for Cervical Lordosis, Thoracic Kyphosis and Lumbar Lordosis. Lordosis is the anterior curvature of the spine (it curves inwards, towards the body) while Kyphosis is the opposite, when the spine curves outwards, posteriorly. hope that helps! x
