The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M53. 82 became effective on October 1, 2021.
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.
52: Lordosis, unspecified Cervical region.
ICD-10-CM Code for Lordosis, unspecified, lumbar region M40. 56.
Treatment of Cervical Lordosis to Straighten or Reduce the Curve & Pain:Medications (NSAIDs) to reduce pain and inflammation.Physical therapy to build strength and increase range of motion.Weight loss programs to reduce load and improve posture.Nutritional supplements to improve bone health (vitamin D, calcium)
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. The spine is divided into several sections.
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.
Cervical Extension InstructionPlace a towel around the base of your neck.Gently hold in place and slowly look up toward the ceiling as far as you can without pain.Lower your neck toward your chest as far as you can without pain.Repeat this movement slowly 10 times.
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 .
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.
Lordosis is an exaggerated inward curve of the spine that typically affects the lower back, a condition called lumbar lordosis. Less often, children develop a pronounced inward curve of the neck, cervical lordosis. Lordosis can affect people of all ages.
ICD-10 code M48. 02 for Spinal stenosis, cervical region is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Dorsopathies .
For most people, lordosis does not cause significant health problems. But it's important to maintain a healthy spine since the spine is responsible for much of our movement and flexibility. Not treating lordosis could lead to long-term discomfort and an increased risk of problems with the: spine.
There are many neck problems that qualify for disability benefits. Among those neck problems that qualify for disability per the SSA guidelines are degenerative disc disease (DDD), herniated discs, arthritis, whiplash, cervical spondylolisthesis, cervical retrolistheses, pinched nerves, cervical lordosis, and cancer.
Lordosis is the medical name for an exaggerated inward curve of the spine, often in the neck or lower back. Lordosis usually does not cause symptoms. However, if it is severe, it can cause pain and may require surgery.
When the neck becomes straight also known as 'flat neck' or 'military neck' then serious issues can evolve such as spinal compression and degeneration. It would also influence your load-carrying capacity and the increased stress may cause abnormal curves to develop.
Spinal disease (also known as a dorsopathy) refers to a condition impairing the backbone. These include various diseases of the back or spine ("dorso-"), such as kyphosis. Dorsalgia refers to those conditions causing back pain. An example is scoliosis.
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.
