What Does Slight Reduction Of Cervical Lordosis In X-ray Mean?
hi i am 37 and had a mva in april this year and at the time of the mva i went into a state of shock wth my entire body so stiff i couldnt move anything. the next day so sore and a few weeks later sore arm and shoulder after having an ultrasound there is burstitis but still the rest of my body stiff and sore. my back and my neck giving me trouble i had an x-ray and it said slight reduction of the usual cervical lordosis what does this mean? and there is early degenerative disease of discs about the thoracolumbar junction what does that mean? can any of this be as a result to the mva?
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.
