Lordosis is excessive curvature in the lumbar portion of the spine, which gives a swayback appearance. The spine is divided into several sections. The cervical vertebrae make up the neck. The thoracic vertebrae comprise the chest section and have ribs attached.
Lordosis (also known as swayback) is when the lower back, above the buttocks, curves inward too much, causing the child's abdomen to protrude and buttocks to stick out. Kyphosis is when the upper spine curves too far outward, forming a hump on the upper back.

Treatment of Cervical Lordosis to Straighten or Reduce the Curve & Pain: Medications (NSAIDs) to reduce pain and inflammation. Physical therapy to build strength and increase range of motion. Weight loss programs to reduce load and improve posture.
Abnormal spine curvature does not follow the normal spine curves and results in a loss of the body's alignment and center of gravity. Loss of lordosis is the flattening of the normal spinal lordosis in either the lumbar or cervical spine.
Mild lordosis in children, for example, maybe cured over time without treatment while severe lordosis may require surgery. However; proper treatments may lead to symptom reduction, or in some people a "cure" or a reversal of lordosis back to normal or near normal.
