Lumbar Lordosis and cervical Lordosis both are interdependent on each other via the anterior and posterior fascial structural line that binds with the viscera in a chain manner. Our body is a pressure system with different containers in it think of it like a 'tiffin' stacked onto one another depending on each other for support. When the abdominal biomechanical forces are heavy along with dysfunctional hips which are either compensated due to over use or misalignment. Then it fascially pulls down the structures towards the gravity created densifications at the least expected areas. Some areas pain due to referred causes. This also involves your deep lines of muscles n fascia such as adductors, abdominals, your peroneals, your diaphragm, your tongue, and your neck muscles.It is advisable to open these structures and the containers and correct it's rhythm through a Fascial Practioner and a Craniosacral Therapy Practioner who would check you globally so that you can avoid surgery.

if your mom does not have a limp, shivering, or lacks bowel control and doesn't want to do surgery, lordosis is a postural change due to the lifestyle, so be patient to doing the exercises and modalities for pain management
kindly get a proper assessment and treatment with rehabilitation exercises
