Lumbar lordosis lower spine refers to the inward curve of the spine in the lower back. A small degree of curvature inward is normal, and it often does not cause any pain or discomfort. However, if the person’s posture seems to be in an abnormal inward curve or swayback, this may cause them some back pain.
People of any age may be affected with lordosis. Moreover, there are certain health factors that may increase your risk for this condition, including:
- Spondylolisthesis
- Achondroplasia
- Osteoporosis
- Obesity
For children, the factors that cause lumbar lordosis lower spine include:
- Congenital factors
- Previous spine surgery
- Genetics
- Bad posture
- Dwarfism
- Hip or pelvis injury
- Other spine conditions
