Hi, Thank you for your question. Lordosis that is normal curvature of spine, but it may increase at puberty imbalances in muscle strength esp. hamstrings, or tight muscle (psoas) and excessive visceral fat. This is also called hollow back or saddle back. Additionally, loss of lordosis is produces painful spinal condition. It is treated by strengthening the muscles via stretching. Sometimes back hyper-extensions on inflatable ball will help in strengthening the back muscles. Over the counter pain relievers may be taken for short-term relief. Plus, physical therapy effectively treats most of the back pain cases. Thus, conservative treatment & physiotherapy exercises would help you to regain your normal function and stopping the further progression of the disease. Please consult a neurologist in this regards. Hope this helps.

See a massage therapist if you can. They will be able to help you reduce the pain ( which will get you off the pills), reduce the lordosis ( which will fix a lot of things), increase your mobility without compromising the vertibrea or injuring yourself. It costs less anually to see a therapist and most insurance companies will pay for it. I'd look for a therapist with training in myofascial release, structural, and/or injury. any of those will be good.
