Which two spinal curvatures are manifest at birth?

and also under what conditions do secondary curvatures develop?

Answers:    Question #1: The two primary curvatures that we're born with are the concave forward curvatures surrounded by the thoracic and sacral spines.

Question #2: The "secondary" curvatures, the compensatory curvatures, occur with normal nouns. (Normal development is the condition under which they occur) These are the cervical curvature, which develops first with infant chief lifting and the lumbar curvature, which develops next sitting up. These curvatures prepare the spine for ambulation.
The thoracic and pelvic curves are termed primary curves, because they alone are present during fetal life.
The cervical and lumbar curves are compensatory or minor, and are developed after birth, the former when the child is able to hold up its head (at three or four months) and to sit upright (at nine months), the latter at twelve or eighteen months, when the child begin to walk.
Hope it helps.
Good luck!
