sinistrocóncava

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Medical report for a second opinion
This is a medical report for a second opinion and I can´t find sinistocóncova on the internet, and am not sure that it would be a literally translatable word, this is the context .........
Leve incurvación sinistrocóncava en columna bien alineada con conservación de la lordosis fisiológica, disminución de señal del disco L4-L5 y de altura del disco L5-S1, que tiene aspecto transicional.

concave to the left

This person's spine has been imaged and has been found to be "slightly concave to the left". The vertebral bodies are in line (no spondylolisthesis) and the normal lumbar lordosis is preserved. I note there are one or two probs with the intervertebral discs. Hope this helps.
Note from asker:
Thank very much for your help Sean, I simply do not see what "sinistro" has to do with the left!! ha ha ha
Thank you Otto Albers, had I known that it was related to "diestro" in such a way there would have been no problem I have never related it to left and right and I have lived in Spain for 40 years!!
