Kyphosis / Lordosis
Kyphosis or lordosis is a spine condition where there is loss of the normal curvature of the spine. It can affect the cervical (neck), thoracic (midback), or lumbar (lower back) areas of the spine. Depending on the direction of the curvature (forward or backward), it can have different effects. For example, increased kyphosis (forward flexion curve) of the thoracic spine can result in abnormal rounding of the back and is sometimes known as ""roundback"" or in the case of a severe curve is called ""hunchback."
