Lordosis Pain
Lordosis pain is an uncommon occurrence in relation to an exaggerated lordotic spinal curve. Hyper-Lordosis can occur in the lower back or neck, but is rarely a symptomatic condition. However, an increased spinal curve often takes the blame for otherwise
idiopathic back pain.
As is the case with many other

conditions, lordosis is rarely the actual source of physical symptoms.Lordosis Pain ScapegoatLordotic Pain TreatmentFor true lordosis related pain, there are only a few real treatment options:* Pain Management Drugs can relieve some symptoms, but come with a variety of risks and side effects. * Complementary medical therapies might be useful for short term pain relief. * Acupuncture might enact considerable symptomatic relief. * Chiropractic might provide symptomatic relief and improved spinal mobility. * Back Braces might help to support a patient’s spine, alleviating some symptoms. Long term use of a brace often has detrimental effects on the back muscles. * Back Surgery might create a cure, but can also worsen physical symptoms or cause serious degeneration in surrounding spinal levels. Surgery is rarely a good solution for lordotic curves. Recommendation on Lordosis PainRemember that many cases of painful lordotic pain have been grossly misdiagnosed. The majority of these complaints are another rampant example of psychosomatic pain fooling the patient and the care provider. Many chronic back pain syndromes are indeed psychosomatic and lordosis related pain is no exception. If you have long term pain diagnosed as coming from a mild to moderate lordotic change in the lumbar or cervical spine, there is a good chance that you too have been misdiagnosed. Try knowledge therapy before considering any drastic treatment for your lordotic pain.Patients with severe lordotic curves have few therapy options available. Surgery might stabilize the condition, but does so at a high price. Symptomatic therapy must be used long term, which is expensive and often has limited success. Extreme lordosis is one of the worst diagnoses, due to the limited curative potential of virtually every treatment modality.
