Question: What does loss of lordosis mean?
Answers:
amazing! a medical doctor that understands the simple relationship of how muscles control position of bones! now if they could just grasp that nerves control muscles, and that nerve interference is what causes muscle imbalance (spasm) and resulting bone misalignment in the first place. i know, i know, far too much for them to process. what they're saying is that the curves that normally appear in the spine are less than normal due to abnormal tension of your back muscles. this may not all return to normal, even if the root cause is corrected, since your body has developed with these imbalances. however, it is essential to correct the cause of this nerve interference. your spine will functionally improve, and more importantly, restoring full innervation to the other affected tissues will improve your health overall and help prevent disease. see an hio method upper cervical specific chiropractor. accept no substitutes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lordosis
"Lordosis is a medical term used to describe an inward curvature of a portion of the vertebral column."
In other words, the curve in the lower back... sounds like you may not have enough of that curve. There's an interesting picture in the Wiki article that looks like it is from the Sims, but it's got a lot of information in the article that should help to answer your question. If that doesn't help enough, you could just call the clinic/hospital that did the MRI and ask them what the results mean... part of their job is answering questions like that. ;-) Good luck and I hope I helped!

The comments are in error. Normal is lordosis...forward curve...in the cervical and lumbar regions of the spine...abnormal in the thoracic region and "upper lumbar' area. This guy simply does not know whereof he speaks. Very sloppy documentation, by someone not a medical professional...or someone who is still asleep this morning.
Yes, the loss in the cervical and lumbar regions may be associated with residual muscle spasm....and with subluxation, incidentally. Chances are your family chiropractor will be able to assist you greatly. ; )
