According to statistics, lumbar scoliosis is most often found in school-age children and mainly in girls (more than 85% of all cases).
There are many types of such curvatures - for example, if the spine bends to the left, then they talk about such a pathology as left-sided scoliosis.
Complex, but moderate (within 11-25 °) curvature of the spinal column along the frontal and sagittal planes, which is accompanied by twisting of the vertebrae, is called scoliosis.
Curvature of the lumbar spine - lumbar scoliosis - is often formed in the form of a compensatory reaction in the primary deformity of the thoracic spine, or is formed primarily.
Curvature of the spine in the frontal plane with an angle of deviation from the axis in the range of 26 to 50 degrees is diagnosed as grade 3 scoliosis.
Such a generalized diagnostic definition as dorsopathy of the lumbar spine means the presence of symptoms, primarily pain, which are caused exclusively by musculoskeletal pathologies localized in the lumbar region of the back.
If in everyday life they say “pinching of the cervical nerve”, then a more accurate medical formulation is the definition: pinching of the roots of the cervical spinal nerves or the nerve root of the cervical plexus.
In scoliotic deformity of the spine, the degree of curvature is crucial for choosing treatment tactics and predicting its success, and the most difficult case is scoliosis of the 4th degree.
Normally, cervical lordosis exists in every person. These are natural physiological curves of the spinal column. They support the optimal position of the spine when walking.
