"Dextrocurvature of cervical spine" refers to a curvature of the cervical spine towards the right side.

The cervical spine is composed of seven vertebrae (C1 to C7) in the neck region. Normally, the spine should have a gentle curve known as lordosis when viewed from the side. Dextrocurvature indicates that this natural curve bends towards the right side of the body, possibly due to various reasons such as muscle imbalances, postural habits, or underlying spinal conditions.

Is the cervical spine inferior to the lumbar spine?

No.The cervical spine is in the neck and is above the lumbar spine, which is in the low back. Because we reference things from anatomical position, which is standing upright, and because the term "inferior" is used to denote things that are below, that statement would be incorrect. Therefore, we could correctly say the cervical spine is superior, or rostral, to the lumbar spine. We could also say that the lumbar spine is inferior, or caudal, to the cervical spine.
