Spinal curvature
Overview
Although spinal curvature (or curvature of spine) can refer to the normal concave and convex curvature of the spine, in clinical contexts, the phrase usually refers to deviations from the expected curvature, even when that difference is a reduction in curvature.
Types include kyphosis, lordosis, and scoliosis.
