Etymology

The term 'lordosis' comes from the Greek word 'lordos,' which means 'bent' or 'curved.' It is composed of the root 'lordo-' referring to the curvature of the spine and the suffix '-sis,' which indicates a condition or process. The understanding of spinal curvatures has evolved over centuries, with ancient Greek physicians observing the human body and its anatomical features. In modern medicine, awareness of lordosis and its implications for health and body mechanics has grown, particularly in studying the impact of posture and lifestyle on musculoskeletal health. Lordosis is acknowledged as a crucial component of spinal alignment, contributing to overall physical well-being.
