Hello! My problem is that I have a curvature of the spine. I rummaged and found that this was called lordosis. I'm a little worried because I realized that this can cause a herniated disc over time, and I'm only 17. The distortion isn't much, but it's definitely visible when I undress or I'm stuck with something. My question is whether this can be corrected. I'm thinking of talking to my parents about this these days and going to the doctor, but it's a little strange to me: /

It is good that you felt on time, To go to a neurologist, you need to follow a diet of standing and posture. There are troubles that will help you. Greetings
Don't be fooled. My wife your age had such a problem. She visited a doctor who recommended swimming. She trained for several years. She was even quite good and was called to competitions, but she refused. She has recovered completely from swimming. At the same time she did some exercises. She is now completely healthy, although she has not swum for many years. At your age, this is absolutely correctable. Just consult a doctor on time so that it is not too late. Maybe he'll prescribe some kind of kinesitherapy or something, maybe some sports and exercises.
Do not diagnose yourself, in addition to lordosis, there are kyphosis and scoliosis - other types of spinal curvature. These are quite common diseases in teenagers and should not be underestimated. In case of severe distortion, organs such as the heart, etc. are compressed. There are different methods of treatment according to the degrees of distortion - swimming, therapeutic gymnastics, CORSET or surgery, which is quite severe. I've been through this and I can tell you that it wasn't easy for me. I think you noticed quite late. These diseases are treated until a certain period, ie until the growth of bone growth, in girls two years after the onset of the cycle. My advice is to go to the doctor for your own good!
I am 44 years old. 4-5 years ago I had a lot of back problems related to my work (computers and driving). For me, things improved dramatically after a visit to a doctor (to be alive and healthy, to help others), who recommended that I drink more water and do exercises called the "Five Tibetans". I made them for the Tibetans for about a month, then I started tai chi and continued with the water ... and so I spent the 5th year. The result is a visible straightening of the posture and no pain (there were other benefits that I did not expect). The price is regular training and of course finances for them :)) Read the book "Treatment of joint and back pain by drinking water" by F. Batmanzhelidch and you will understand the meaning of water. I hope I have been helpful.
And I have a distortion quite large 40 degrees .. they found it to me 4 years ago significant at 11 somewhere .. and since then I go to therapeutic gymnastics and I have improved by 10 degrees .. and swimming PPC from 1st grade I train, so it's not great guarantee .. swimming will not straighten you, it will make your back muscles that will prevent the distortion from getting worse. If you caught it in the beginning there is a chance to fix it, but if it's serious, there is no way .. as I have improved a little, but more than that there is no way .. and um the rest is surgery or corset, but I hope it's not so bad your distortion
