What is straightening of normal cervical lordosis?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Straightening of normal cervical lordosis refers to a loss of the natural inward curvature of the neck when viewed from the side. This can be caused by muscle tension, poor posture, injury, or degenerative changes in the spine. It can lead to neck pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Treatment may include physical therapy, exercises to improve posture, and pain management strategies.

Answer 3

Poor posture is a big cause. Also, sometimes after an injury the muscles of the neck will become altered (eg: some become tight, others stretch or tear, etc.) and cause a loss of lordosis. Poor posture and/or injuries could also lead to increased lordosis, it depends on the specifics of the posture/injury as well as the individual patient.

Answer 4

i have been miserable with pain in neck and shoulders and more,went to the er and the results show there is straightening to the normal curvature.on c2-c3 there is moderate disc bulging. without disc herniation. c3 and c4 there is broad disc herniation present extending to the right midlin.There is evidence of central canal and right sided forminal narrowing.on c4 - c5 broad disc/ridge complex is present.there is mild centralcanal narrowing and mild left foraminal narrowing. c5 and c6 there is mild disc bulging without disc herniation.Cuts at lung aspices are unremarkable.multilevel disc disease.

Answer 5

The cervical lordosis is the curve in the neck (cervical spine). When there is straightening of the cervical lordosis, this can occur from posture or a herniated disc in the area.
