Swayback (Lordosis) Lordosis can cause pain that sometimes affects the ability to move. It is usually found in the lower back, where the inward curve can make the buttocks seem more prominent. When lying on the back on a hard surface, someone with a large degree of lordosis will have a space beneath the lower back and the surface. If the curve is flexible (or reverses itself when the person bends forward), there is little need for medical concern.

Lordosis Lordosis refers to the normal inward lordotic curvature of the lumbar and cervical regions of the human spine. The normal outward curvature in the thoracic and sacral regions is termed kyphosis or kyphotic. The term comes from the Greek lordōsis, from lordos. Lordosis in the human spine makes it easier for humans to bring the bulk of their mass over the pelvis. This allows for a much more efficient walking gait than that of other primates, whose inflexible spines cause them to resort to an ...

Kyphosis Kyphosis and lordosis are types of spinal deformities. While slight curvature of the spine is normal and healthy, there are some cases where it is over-pronounced and can cause both cosmetic deformity and health risks. When the spine curves inward too much in the low back, it is called lordosis. When the spine in the shoulder blade or mid-spine area has too much forward curve, or too much of a hump, it is called kyphosis. Kyphosis most often occurs in the thoracic area of the spine. [top]

Swayback (Lordosis) The spine normally curves at the neck, the torso and the lower back area. This positions the head over the pelvis naturally. The curves also work as shock absorbers, distributing the stress that occurs during movement. When the spine curves too far inward, the condition is called lordosis or swayback.

Hollow Back - Lordosis In lordosis, the curve of the spine arches forward. The normal spine has a slight degree of lordosis in the neck and lower back regions. It bends forward in the chest area. In excessive lordosis, there is a greater arching of the spine, especially in the lower back. What are the causes and risks of the condition? Specific causes of excessive lordosis include: achondroplasia, which is the abnormal conversion of cartilage into bone that results in dwarfism spondylolisthesis, or the slipping forward of one vertebra on top of the one below Symptoms & Signs
