What is Lordosis and Kyphosis?

Lordosis is an excessive inward curve in the lower back, specifically in the lumbar spine just above the glutes. A slight degree of lordosis is normal. Excessive lordotic curvature is called hyperlordosis. On the other hand, kyphosis is an excessive outward curve in the upper back or neck area. In older adults, kyphosis is often due to weakened vertebrae, causing fractures and compression.

Common symptoms of lordosis:

• Back spasms and difficulty moving the neck.
• Numbness and tingling or pain.
• Loss of bladder control.

Symptoms of kyphosis: Mild kyphosis may not present noticeable signs or symptoms. In fact, the upper back naturally has a slight kyphosis. Individuals with excessive curvature may experience pain and stiffness in the back.

What causes these conditions?

The causes of lordosis and kyphosis can vary, but some common reasons include:

Lordosis:

• Overweight, muscle weakness in the abdomen and glutes.
• Pregnancy, which may shift the center of gravity.
• Improper postural habits, such as sitting hunched for long periods.

Kyphosis:

• Poor posture, especially when sitting in front of a computer or constantly looking at a mobile device.
• Osteoporosis, which weakens the spinal bones.
• Diseases or conditions affecting the spine.

What to do if you have Lordosis or Kyphosis?

If you suspect you have lordosis or kyphosis, it is important to seek advice from a healthcare professional, such as a physical therapist or doctor. However, here are some general tips that may help:

• Strengthening exercises: Perform exercises to strengthen your core and back muscles, such as abdominal, lumbar, and dorsal exercises.
• Stretching: Incorporate stretching exercises to improve spinal flexibility and the muscles involved.
• Ergonomics: Maintain good posture while sitting and standing. Adjust your workspace to be ergonomically appropriate, and consider using orthopedic products to improve your daily posture.
