Lumbar lordosis refers to the disappearance of the normal forward physiologic curvature of the lumbar spine, which instead curves to the back.
Lumbar lordosis is often caused by prolonged incorrect posture or prolonged strain, and it can also be caused by congenital developmental abnormalities of the lumbar spine or some other diseases.
Lumbar lordosis often causes compression of the structures in the spinal canal, resulting in pain, numbness, muscle atrophy, and loss of muscle strength in the lower extremities. If the degree of compression is relatively mild, recovery can be achieved by changing poor lifestyles, correcting poor posture, and cooperating with physical therapy.
If the lumbar lordosis is caused by congenital deformity or other diseases, causing serious compression to the nerve roots in the spinal canal, then timely surgical correction is needed to restore the normal physiological curvature of the vertebral body and restore the normal activities of the lower limbs.
If you have lumbar lordosis, you must go to the regular hospital for consultation and treatment in a timely manner, and do not treat it on your own, so as not to cause adverse consequences.
