Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda

Episode 144: Lordosis vs Kyphosis: The Differences & Similarities


Listen Later

In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we dive into the critical differences between lordosis and kyphosis, exploring their role in spinal alignment, biomechanics, and overall health. Many patients worry about minor misalignments in their spine when viewed from the front, but the real concern often lies in the side view. Dr. Nalda explains why maintaining proper spinal curves is essential for strength, flexibility, and function—and what happens when these curves fall out of alignment.

From hyperlordosis (excessive curvature) to hypolordosis (loss of curvature), we discuss how these conditions impact posture, spinal degeneration, and pain. Dr. Nalda emphasizes the importance of proactive treatment to restore spinal alignment and prevent long-term complications.

Key Topics Covered:

Spinal Curvatures & Their Functions – Understanding the natural S-shaped curve of the spine (lordosis in the neck and lower back, kyphosis in the mid-back).

Hyperlordosis & Hypolordosis – What happens when the spine curves too much or too little?

Hyperkyphosis & Hypokyphosis – How excessive or reduced mid-back curvature affects posture and biomechanics.

Impact of Spinal Misalignments – Why poor spinal alignment can lead to pain, postural issues, and premature degeneration.

The Role of Gravity & Time – How spinal misalignments worsen over time and why early intervention matters.

Treatment Approaches – Steps you can take to restore healthy spinal curvature and prevent future issues.
