What does it mean when you have lumbar scoliosis?

Lumbar scoliosis is a condition in which the spine curves to the side in the lower back (lumbar region). It is the most common type of scoliosis, affecting approximately 10-15% of the population. Lumbar scoliosis can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, muscle imbalances, and certain medical conditions. Symptoms of lumbar scoliosis can include back pain, muscle spasms, and difficulty standing or walking. Treatment for lumbar scoliosis typically involves physical therapy, bracing, and in severe cases, surgery.
