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 (Deviating outwards from the body) lordosis (Deviating Inwards to the body) and scoliosis (Curving to the side e.g. a ‘C’ or ‘S’ shape).The terms can be used to explain an increase in curvature as well.
