Question 1

i have mild loss of cervical lordosis.my symptoms are imbalance and poor coordination...brain mri was clear.what could be the cause of these symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Ear Dysfunction: Please keep going to your health care provider.  This could be related to inner ear dysfunction (labyrinthitis), but other diseases are also possible.  A consultation with a neurologist may be helpful.

Loss of cervical lordosis can relate to muscle spasm, among other causes.

Question 2

xray revealed loss of lordosis in cervical spine, symptoms are severe sudden neck pain/headache, numbness in right arm (elbow to pinky), regular upper back pain for years.  what can i do to correct lordosis and relieve neck/back pain?

Accepted Answer

Plan: Your recommendation depends on quality and exact location of abnormalities on X-ray. Physical therapy usually helps with symptoms.

Question 3

i have loss of cervical lordosis?

Accepted Answer

This can be due to : Just the position your head and neck wee in during the imaging or due to degenerative changes that occur over time.  If there is a muscular pain either from a muscle strain, disc herniation or arthritic inflammation - these can cause this imaging appearance.  Spinal stenosis may lead you to have this neck position as well to afford more room in the spinal canal for the nerve tissue.

Question 4

what does it mean to have a loss of cervical lordosis?

Accepted Answer

Loss of normal curve: Cervical lordosis is the normal curvature of the cervical spine.  This is typically associated with cervical strain or spasm.

Question 5

could loss of cervical lordosis /cervical stenosis cause fasiculations ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: these can occur when a motor nerve is being pinched or they can be totally unrelated to any disease. Check with a good neurologist if they are bothering you.

Question 6

what does it mean to have minimal cervicothoracic scoliosis and loss of cervical lordosis?

Accepted Answer

Translation: The spine at the neck usually has a gentile curve forward then back creating a bow like appearance when seen from the side. Lack of cervical lordosis means it has lost this curve. Cervicothoracic is just a term locating what they see as a slight curve (side to side) in the upper back.

Question 7

can complete loss of cervical lordosis (leading to spondylosis) without any accident / sudden trauma in a young patient be reversed?

Accepted Answer

Cervical Lordosis: Lordosis in the neck refers to a normal curvature. Loss of lordosis is often seen after car accidents where there is mostly muscle/ligament injury.  Without any trauma, genetic factors and posture may have a greater cause. You can certainly improve these findings with a good course of PT and a regular home exercise program. Focus on posture, and how long you are looking down at electronics.

Question 8

can loss of cervical lordosis cause serious pains in the hand?

Accepted Answer

No but what may be : Causing the cervical spine to lose its natural alignment could be such as a disc herniation or foramenal  stenosis or both.  By decreasing the degree of lordosis, there may be more space made available to lessen pressure on a pinched or compressed nerve that may be the cause of the pain in your hand which can be demonstrated by a ct ormri scan of the cervical spne.

Question 9

could the loss of cervical lordosis (forward head posture) lead to hands pain?

Accepted Answer

Not the actual : Loss of the cervical lordosis but what may be causing your neck to be held in that position may also be causing the symptoms your are noting in your hands.

Question 10

i have had persistent neck pain for 3 months now and x-ray has clearly shown loss of cervical lordosis. 
the doctors has however just prescribed spinal massage and no cervical retraction.

what is your take on this?

Accepted Answer

Cervical strain : Is this a post-traumatic consequence?  Would typically use PT and initiate exercise early.  Massage is comforting but of little benefit by 8-10 weeks.  Acupuncture can be amazing
