The lumbar spine, as viewed from the side, should have a natural ‘J’-shaped curve with more curvature at the bottom. This curve is called the Lumbar Lordosis. Lifting injuries, falls, poor posture, and poor ergonomics all contribute to abnormal Lumbar Lordosis.
Abnormal Lumbar Lordosis puts a person at greater risk of adverse nerve, ligament, and muscle function. Ultimately, abnormal Lumbar Lordosis may lead to a number of health related disorders and increased potential for back pain and injury.
