Hello,

What they are describing is basically straightening of the neck. There is usually a bit of a negative curvature to the neck, just as in the low back above the waist. This can be lost over time in the neck due to degenerative changes in the spine, but it in and of itself does not cause any problems.

You also have a few disc bulges which are not causing any significant problems. Disc bulges are very common and almost everyone has a few starting in their 20-30s which don't cause any problems.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Janne Nissinen, Neurologist
