Overview
Lordosis
Lordosis is an increased inward curvature of the spine, most commonly in the lower back. A certain degree of inward curvature is normal, but excessive curvature can alter posture and sometimes cause back discomfort or movement problems. The condition may be related to posture, body structure, muscle imbalance, or underlying disorders.
Cellulitis
Cellulitis is a bacterial infection involving the deeper layers of the skin and underlying tissues. It commonly develops when bacteria enter through a break in the skin, such as a wound, cut, burn, bite, or ulcer. The affected area may become red, warm, swollen, painful, and tender, and fever or chills may occur.

Lordosis
Diagnosis involves a physical examination to assess posture, spinal alignment, range of movement, muscle strength, and symptoms. The clinician may evaluate possible underlying causes involving the hips, muscles, or spine. X-rays can measure the degree of curvature and identify structural abnormalities. Further imaging or testing may be considered when symptoms suggest an underlying disorder.
Cellulitis
Cellulitis is usually diagnosed by examining the affected skin and considering the pattern of redness, warmth, swelling, tenderness, and other symptoms. Blood tests or cultures may be used when infection is severe or when identifying the bacteria is important. A sample from an open wound or affected area may sometimes be tested, while imaging is reserved for selected situations.
Prevention
Lordosis
Maintaining a healthy body weight, regular physical activity, good posture, and appropriate strength and flexibility can support spinal health. Repetitive strain and prolonged poor posture should be addressed when possible. Conditions affecting the bones, hips, or muscles should receive appropriate medical care so that preventable contributors to excessive spinal curvature can be managed.
Cellulitis
Cellulitis prevention focuses on protecting the skin and promptly caring for breaks in the skin. Clean cuts, wounds, and scratches with soap and water, keep them covered when appropriate, and watch for signs of infection. Keep skin moisturized to reduce cracking, protect the feet, and manage conditions such as diabetes or fungal foot infections that can damage the skin barrier.
Risk Factors
Lordosis
Risk depends largely on the underlying cause. Factors that may contribute include obesity, poor posture, weak or imbalanced trunk muscles, certain skeletal conditions, hip abnormalities, spinal disorders, and developmental problems. The likelihood of excessive curvature also depends on age and the condition affecting the spine or surrounding muscles.
Cellulitis
Risk of cellulitis increases when the skin barrier is damaged by cuts, wounds, burns, insect or animal bites, surgery, ulcers, or chronic skin conditions. Cracked skin from fungal infections, diabetes, circulation problems, and medicines that suppress the immune system can also increase susceptibility. Previous episodes may increase the chance of recurrence.
