Lordosis

Alternate Names : Swayback, Hollow Back, Saddle Back

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

What are the treatments for the condition?

Treatment is unnecessary when lordosis is minimal. Appropriate exercises and posture may help to reduce arching. In rare cases, a back brace or an operation may be needed.

What are the side effects of the treatments?

A brace may cause skin irritation. Surgery may cause bleeding, infection, or allergic reaction to anesthesia.

How is the condition monitored?

Periodic checkups can help assess the degree of lordosis and the flexibility of the back. Any new or worsening symptoms should be reported to the healthcare provider.
