A lateral curvature of the spine is called what?

A lateral curvature of the spine is called scoliosis. It is a condition where the spine curves sideways, forming an "S" or "C" shape instead of being straight when viewed from the back. Scoliosis can occur in any part of the spine but is most commonly found in the thoracic (upper) or lumbar (lower) regions. Types of Scoliosis Idiopathic Scoliosis: The most common type, with no identifiable cause. It often develops during adolescence. Congenital Scoliosis: Caused by abnormal spinal development in the womb. Neuromuscular Scoliosis: Linked to conditions like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy that affect muscles and nerves. Degenerative Scoliosis: Occurs in adults due to aging and wear-and-tear on the spine. Symptoms Uneven shoulders or hips. Prominent ribs on one side. Back pain or stiffness. Difficulty breathing in severe cases. Diagnosis and Treatment Scoliosis is diagnosed through physical exams, X-rays, or MRIs. Mild cases may require observation, while moderate cases may need bracing. Severe scoliosis might require surgery, such as spinal fusion, to correct the curvature and prevent progression. If you suspect scoliosis, consult a healthcare provider(561-836-7248) for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

What is the effect of mild loss of lumbar lordosis is it a danger level does it need any surgery?

Mild loss of the lumbar lordosis is probably a result of spasm of the low back muscles (called paraspinal muscles).  Lordosis is the normal curvature of the lumbar spine (the part of your spine in your low back.  A lumbar lordosis usually curves so that the concave side faces your back and the convex side faces your front.  With poor biomechanics, muscle spasm, or some injuries you can lose this natural curve.  A loss of lumbar lordorsis is refered to as alordosis or hypolordosis.  This by itself is generally not considered an indication for surgery.  You may be able to restore your lordotic curve with some chiropractic techniques like Chiropractic Biophysics or Pettibon.


What does it mean when you have levoconvex curvature of the thoracic and lumbar spine with multilevel degenerative disc disease and 19 degree curvature?

Levoconvex curvature of the thoracic and lumbar spine indicates a curvature that bends to the left side, which can be associated with conditions such as scoliosis. Multilevel degenerative disc disease refers to the deterioration of multiple intervertebral discs, potentially causing pain, reduced mobility, and other symptoms. A 19-degree curvature suggests a moderate spinal deformity, which may require monitoring or treatment depending on its severity and the presence of symptoms. Overall, this combination indicates a need for medical evaluation to determine appropriate management options.
