Hyperlordosis

Excessive forward curvature of the spine in the lumbar region. Cases have been rising rapidly recently.

Hyperlordosis is not just a cosmetic concern — it may cause persistent low back pain, overloading of the spinal column, and gait and postural disorders.

Causes

  • Weak abdominal and back muscles
  • Poor posture
  • A prolonged sedentary lifestyle
  • Steering children toward the wrong sport

The approach used at ELF Center is medication-free and needle-free: osteopathy sessions, rehabilitation programs and therapeutic exercise routines.
