Suggest Treatment For Lordosis
I have been having some type of pain in the lower back region while lowering, lifting objects and even while sleeping. The pain is not too much but creates difficulty.So, as consulted from an M.D, I got an X-RAY done. The report says LOSS OF LORDOSIS. What exercises or consultations should I take.....?

Hi,
The X-ray report states that there is a LOSS of NORMAL curvature of the spine. Typically, there are 4 curves to the spinal column in the human being. When a lordotic curve (or lordosis) is altered or "lost" in a person it is usually taken to mean that there is some kind of muscle spasms present in that region which is causing a STRAIGHTENING of the spinal column thus resulting in a LOSS of its curvature.
Things to do would be to get an EVALUATION by a PHYSICAL REHABILITATION SPECIALIST OR EVEN a PHYSICAL THERAPIST. Either one of those specialists should be able to come up with a series of stretches and exercises to help muscles to relax in the column and thereby release the pressure on the low back.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
