What is Reversal of lordotic curvature at c4-c5?

Reversal of lordotic curvature at the C4-C5 level refers to a change in the normal cervical spine curvature, where the expected inward curve (lordosis) is flattened or reversed. This condition can result from various factors, including muscle imbalances, degenerative disc disease, or trauma. It may lead to neck pain, reduced mobility, and potential nerve compression. Diagnosis is typically made through imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI.
