Full Answer
When the vertebrae in the neck bend in the wrong direction, it is considered to be a reversal of cervical lordosis and is associated with a variety of causes. Let’s start our discussion of what it means to have a reversal of cervical lordosis by exploring why maintaining a healthy cervical lordosis is so important.
Lordosis, unspecified 1 M40.5 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM M40.5 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of M40.5 - other international versions of ICD-10 M40.5 may differ.
While cervical lordosis has a healthy curvature-degree range of between 31 and 40 degrees, if that range falls beyond a normal level as the curvature is lost, the neck starts to straighten out and problems can occur.
In addition, a variety of spinal conditions can also lead to a loss of cervical lordosis, such as hypolordosis, hyperlordosis, hyperkyphosis, osteoporosis, and scoliosis. When spinal conditions that involve a loss of the spine’s healthy curvatures develop, it’s not unusual for the spine to put in compensatory curves.
8X6 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of M43. 8X6 - other international versions of ICD-10 M43.

Cervical lordosis is when your spine in the neck region doesn't curve as it normally should. This can mean: There's too much of a curve. The curve is running in the wrong direction, also called reverse cervical lordosis. The curve has moved to the right.
Straightening of the cervical spine means that you have lost the good curve or the lordosis of the cervical spine. As far as it being caused by muscle spasms, I don't know if you were in a car accident or something that would have caused the muscles to be in spasm. It does not mean that you have scoliosis.

Dorsopathy – a group of diseases of the spine and paravertebral tissues. The main causes of this disease is the increased load on the spine, impaired nutrition and blood supply to the vertebrae and tissues, as well as shocks, falls from a height on the spine or legs and other injuries.
ICD-10 code M47. 812 for Spondylosis without myelopathy or radiculopathy, cervical region is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Dorsopathies .
Lordosis (also known as swayback) is when the lower back, above the buttocks, curves inward too much, causing the child's abdomen to protrude and buttocks to stick out. Kyphosis is when the upper spine curves too far outward, forming a hump on the upper back.
Lordosis is the inward curve of the lumbar spine (just above the buttocks). A small degree of lordosis is normal. Too much curving is called swayback.
ICD-10 code M43. 22 for Fusion of spine, cervical region is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Dorsopathies .
