Hi,

Reduction of lordosis means there is a spasm in your neck muscles which are pulling your vertebra bones to make them straight, and the curve is lost. Physiotherapy and hot fomentation is the best treatment for it.

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

Regards,
Dr. Jaideep Gaver, Orthopedic Surgeon
