Everyone does not have the same spine curvature, and appearance on xrays is affected by patient's position while taking the xray. If you have significant back pain of recent onset, such as a sprain or other injury, it may itself cause muscle spasm and loss of curvature. However if the pain persists even at rest, the back pain may the manifestation of spondlyarthritis especially if other joints are also painful. Family history may also suugest arthritis such as Ankylosing spondylitis. I suggest you see an Orthopedic surgeon right away for evaluation. Chiropractic and physiotherapy may help but should not substitute for proper evaluation.
