Kyphosis
Scoliosis
The medical term for a side-to-side curvature of the spine is spelled scoliosis.
"Procubitus" is a term used in medical anatomy to describe the forward curvature or arching of the spine, particularly in the lumbar region. It can be a normal part of the spine's anatomical curvature or can be associated with conditions like lordosis.
The term for an exaggerated lateral curvature of the spine is scoliosis.
Either Scoliosis or Kyphosis. Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine, primarily in the thoracic region. Kyphosis is the forward bending of the thoracic region, the "round back" deformity.
from the base of your neck to mid back is known as the thoracic spine and an excessive curvature of this region is called a kyphosis. Kyphosis looks like a "hump" when viewed from the side. Below the thoracic region is the lumbar region which is commonly known as the low back. Excessive inwards curvature of this region is called a hyperlordosis.
The Anteriori guess the front would be "face"?
A scoliometer is used for measuring spine curvature. Like a level, it has a bubble, but it measures angle.Scoliosis is the unnatural curvature of the spinal column, typically an "S" shaped column. To diagnose and identify scoliosis, you will most likely undergo a simple x-ray. An x-ray will show any side-to-side curvature in the spine.Believe it or not, a scoliometer is the one used for screening.
Anterior
Anterior tibialis tendinitis is the medical term meaning inflammation o the anterior tibialis tendon. The condition causes ankle pain.
Levoscoliosis is the term that describes a spinal curve to the left. Thoracolumbar scoliosis is a curvature that includes vertebrae in the both portions of the spine.
The medical term for an abnormal condition characterized by a hump in the spine is kyphosis. It refers to an excessive outward curvature of the thoracic spine, leading to a rounded or hunched appearance of the upper back. While a slight curvature is normal, kyphosis occurs when this curvature becomes exaggerated, often exceeding 50 degrees. Types of Kyphosis Postural Kyphosis: The most common type, caused by poor posture, and is more prevalent in adolescents. It is typically flexible and correctable with posture improvement. Scheuermann’s Kyphosis: A more rigid form caused by wedge-shaped vertebrae, often appearing during adolescence. Congenital Kyphosis: Present at birth due to abnormal spinal development in the womb. Age-Related Kyphosis: Often seen in older adults, caused by degenerative conditions like osteoporosis, which can lead to vertebral compression fractures. Symptoms Rounded upper back or visible hump. Back pain or stiffness. Reduced spinal flexibility. Severe cases may affect breathing or cause nerve issues. Treatment Treatment depends on severity and cause. Mild cases may benefit from physical therapy and exercises to strengthen back muscles. Severe cases may require bracing or surgical correction. A healthcare provider(561-840-1090) should evaluate persistent symptoms.
