Is cervical lordosis an early stage of osteoporosis?
No, a cervical lordosis is the normal curve of your cervical spine (neck).
What is clinical correlation of normal cervical lordosis?
Normal cervical lordosis is lordosis very important by that position can be change and it's working disturbed.and it shift in chronic condition.
Lordosis affects the thoracic vertebrae?
Cervical and lumbar segments are physiologically lordotic, it's normal. The thoracic lordosis is a spinal deformity, so yes, this may affect the thoracic vertebrae.
What is saddle back?
Lordosis an anteriorly convex curvature of the vertebral column; the normal lordoses of the cervical and lumbar regions are secondary curvatures of the vertebral column, acquired postnatally
What do MRI results mean if they say mild reversal of the cervical lordosis with early dehydration and annular bulging at C4 5?
Sorry that your answer hasn't been replied to yet, and I don't know everything about what you are asking but, I know about the lordosis. "Mild" reversal of the cervical lordosis is way better than a complete reversal. The Lordosis is the actual curve in the cervical spine (neck). Normally, the lordosis curves inward toward your throat. If there are changes in the lordosis, it means that it is starting to straighten (first) out to what they call "military neck". I have a complete reversal of the lordosis which means that my cervical spine has lost the complete curve and actually curves the opposite way. This is due to a whiplash injury from a rear-end collision in July of this year. I also have bulging in the same area as you, and problems in T1, T2 & T3. Bulging of the C4-5 is where your cervical vertabre is bulging out of your spine. More than likely due to disk injury. Each vertabre is numbered. There are 7 vertabre in the neck area, each are numbered starting from the joint where they spine and head connect. (Cervical 4 & Cervical 5) The term cervical deals only with the neck. Thoracic deals with the upper back. So, after C7, it then changes to T1, T2 etc. Good luck on your recovery. It's a long road or so I hear to finally get back to normal or close to it!

What are symptoms of cervical lordosis?
If you look at someone from the side, you notice that the spine is shaped a little like an "S"... The low portion of your back is called the lumbar area. What the above means is that the lumbar area of this "S" shape in straightened --or flattened-- thus producing a straightened lower spine... It usually occurs with back spasms, but maight not really be important... The spine is shaped like this to allow better balancing for standing.
What is the medical term for anterior curvature of the spine?
The medical term for anterior curvature of the spine is lordosis. It is a normal curve in the cervical and lumbar regions of the spine that helps distribute weight and maintain balance.
What is lordosis also known as?
an abnormal inward(forward) curvature of the vertebral column causing a hollow in the back and is commonly referred to as (swayback, saddleback, and hyper-lordosis)curvature of the spine
Slight loss of normal lumbar lordosis?
Slight loss of normal lumbar lordosis is a subjective evaluation by the radiologist of the alignment of the lumbar vertebrae which should form a forward facing curve on the lateral x-ray of the lumbar spine. It is a highly subjective evaluation and for the most part, when slight, can not be inferred to have any specific meaning. A normal lumbar spine may seem to have a slight loss of lordosis. Pain, muscle spasm, arthrosis and a host of other conditions may be associated with the finding.
When the superior iliac crest of the pelvis moves forward and downward from the normal anatomical position it is know as?
skeletal system
What is straightening of normal cervical lordosis?
The cervical spine (neck) has a natural curve, the lordotic curvature, that allows for even weight distribution and shock-absorbing properties. Straightening of the lordotic curvature means that this natural curve has been lost, and the cervical spine has become straighter.
