The 5th consult elaborated more on my son's lumbar being kyphosis. I will ask for the notes, but am getting confused in lumbar kyphosis, hypo lordosis, and even read excessive lordosis. His first surgeon consult did say that according to his side Xray, sagittal plane I guess, he is more of a "flat back". At the time I thought he was referring to just his Thoracic.
His left side/lumbar area does have hump, but that is rotation I thought.
From reading the net, it sounds like hypo lordosis can be address with exercise and is common for people who sit a lot. My son does all day at the computer, even with one of those fancy expensive chairs, he has bad/slouchy posture! I get on him all day about posture, but it is nearly impossible to correct.
So should we attempt to address this pre-opt with a PT?
