Lordosis, often referred to as swayback, is a condition characterized by an excessive inward curve of the spine. While a certain degree of curvature is normal, too much curvature results in lordosis. It primarily affects the lower back, but it can also occur in the neck.
There are different types of lordosis, including lumbar lordosis, cervical lordosis, and postural lordosis. Lumbar lordosis affects the lower back, cervical lordosis impacts the neck, while postural lordosis is due to poor posture.
Several factors can contribute to the development of lordosis, including obesity, osteoporosis, discitis (an inflammation of the disc space between the bones of the spine), and spondylolisthesis (a condition where one vertebra slips forward over the one beneath it).
Signs and symptoms of lordosis include a noticeable arch in the lower back, a large gap between the lower back and a flat surface when lying down, discomfort or pain, and limited movement in the back or neck. A physical examination and imaging tests, like X-rays or MRI scans, can diagnose the condition and determine its severity.
The treatment strategy for lordosis is tailored to the severity of the curve and any accompanying symptoms. For mild lordosis, particularly in children, monitoring and physical therapy exercises to improve strength and flexibility may be all that's needed.
If lordosis leads to discomfort or pain, medication may be used to relieve these symptoms. Weight management could be recommended if obesity is a contributing factor. In more severe cases, a back brace or surgery might be necessary.

Excellent office, above and beyond service! All people work as a TEAM. Karina is a jewel to this place: friendly, nice and supportive. All people make you feel in a Spa, not in a doctor's office in it's usual sense (where you want to leave asap). Eros is a very knowledgeable and helpful (for any questions you get answers in a professional manner - he knows what he is doing and does an excellent job ). Grateful to Dr.Inna Kouperman MS,PT,who managed to organize her office in such a manner. The name Excel Physical Therapy says it all! Everybody knows that the Front desk is the Face of the office. So, I have to mention Tamara, who is always reminding me about appointment by phone and also greets with the smile and friendly face. I would greatly recommend this place to all people and would give more than 5 stars!!! Love you all!

I have been coming for 1 month. When I 1st came I could not even walk a block without having to stop because my legs, back & feet were killing me. I have diabetic neuropathy in my feet going to my calves as well. I have been having tens unit & hot stone therapy on my feet & calves and it is FANTASTIC. I have also been doing the bicycle (started at 5 minutes and now I can do 15 minutes) and balance & stretching for my calves & thighs. Inna is a MIRACLE WORKER. Last week after I left her office, i went walking from Brighton 3rd St. to 1 block short of Coney Island Ave. Then I turned down the block to Brighton Beach Ave. I walked all the way down to Brighton 1st St. without any PAIN or TROUBLE WITH MY FEET. Inna Kouperman Of EXCEL PHYSICAL THERAPY is the ABSOLUTE BEST and I RECOMMEND HER HIGHLY.. I can't wait to see what the next months progress brings !!!!!

Inna is just a know it all physical therapist, from my knee to my shoulder injury, she was able to help me heal my injuries. She takes her time and every time there is a different type of excercise or massage applied to the injured area. Can't say enough good things about her staff especially coming from different places like One n One where they do dverything repeatedly and nothing gets done.
