These changes can include:
straightening of the regular cervical lordosis Your neck, upper back, and low back all have reversed curves. One goes one method, and the adjoining curve goes the opposite method. When the curve points toward the front, it’s called a lordosis and towards the back, it’s called a kyphosis.
What is Cervical Lordosis?
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M40. 46 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Other specified dorsopathies, cervical region 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.
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.
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)
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 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. The cervical vertebrae make up the neck.
The cause of lordosis has been linked to achondroplasia and spondylolisthesis. However, lordosis may be associated with poor posture, a congenital (present at birth) problem with the vertebrae, neuromuscular problems, back surgery, pelvis, or a hip problem.
