spine curvature

Vertebral column deviation

Spine curvature refers to the natural or abnormal bending of the vertebral column.

The healthy spine has gentle curves, but excessive or atypical curvature constitutes medical conditions: scoliosis curves sideways, kyphosis rounds the upper back excessively, and lordosis exaggerates the lower back's inward curve.

The doctor noticed abnormal spine curvature during the examination.
