See details: It means exactly what it says. The cervical spine loses it normal curvature due to muscles spasm. The curvature will return to normal when the muscle spasm resolves.

Loss natural curve: The cervical spine is C shaped with its curve facing towards the back of the neck. The spinal area in the neck is called the cervical spine and is made up of 7 cervical vertebra. A normal healthy C spine has a slight lordotic curve which is anatomically important to bear the weight of the head Loss of the C lordosis results in a straightening or a reverse of the curve. Need tx to get curve back.
