Curvature in the opposite direction, that is, apex posteriorly (humans) or dorsally (mammals) is termed kyphosis.

Scoliosis, lordosis, kyphosis are terms that refer to the curves in the lumbar and thoracic spine.
Scoliosis refers to a left to right curve in the lumbar and/or thoracic spine. A scoliosis can be either an S or a C shape and also has some rotational component to it.
Lordosis refers to the front to back curve in the lumbar spine.
Kyphosis refers to the front to back curve in the thoracic spine. Both the lordosis and kyphosis curves may be hyper (too much) or hypo (too little).
It is held that these abnormal curves are caused by and held by the abnormal pull of muscles on the bones of the spine, hips, ribs and shoulders. These abnormal curves and the increased bio-mechanical pressure they put on bones and joints can lead to pain, sciatica, arthritis, bone spurs, ruptured discs and degenerative disks as well as other organ and system dysfunction.
