What means rectified cervical lordosis with spondylotic changes from C4 to C7?
Rectified cervical lordosis with spondylotic changes from C4 to C7 is a medical condition affecting the spine.
The cervical spine refers to the seven vertebrae of the neck, labeled C1 to C7, starting from the top. Lordosis is a natural inward curve of the cervical spine. Rectified cervical lordosis denotes a straightening or loss of this inward curve.
Spondylotic changes signify degenerative changes occurring in the vertebrae and discs of the spine due to wear and tear or aging. Specifically, in this case, these degenerative changes are present from the 4th (C4) to the 7th (C7) cervical vertebrae.
Rectified cervical lordosis combined with spondylotic changes leads to reduced flexibility and movement in the neck, causing discomfort and even nerve root irritation.
