Alternate Names : Swayback, Hollow Back, Saddle Back

Lordosis | Symptoms & Signs | Diagnosis & Tests | Prevention & Expectations | Treatment & Monitoring

What can be done to prevent the condition?

There is no prevention for lordosis.

What are the long-term effects of the condition?

Lordosis that occurs in childhood usually corrects itself and is not a medical problem. If the lordosis does not correct itself, it can worsen if not addressed. Permanent lordosis may cause increased strain on the lower spine, with chronic low back pain.

What are the risks to others?

Lordosis is not contagious, and poses no risk to others.
