A member asked:

Painful tight muscles from reverse lordosis of cervical spine?

Neck spasm: Significant muscle spasms usually will cause reversed lordosis of the neck spine. You will need an evaluation from a rehabilitation medicine specialist and probably undergo physical therapy also.

Actually the Reverse: The reversal of the cervical lordosis is most likely due to the painful, tight muscles. The question arises as to the source of the muscles acting that way. This could be a muscular strain, undelying degenerative changes, a disc herniation, spinal stenosis, to name a few examples.
