Cervical spine
In March 2015, X-ray of cervical spine revealed "straightening of cervical spine due to muscular spasm". Other things were normal including bone density etc (copy of report is attached). However, after a period of every 2-3 months, I feel acute weakness and also dizziness/giddiness. Can it be due to this. What should I do. Please suggest.

Dear loss of lordosis in spine is usually due to poor posture.
You have to get evaluated by spine specialist for neurology assessment.

Dizziness/giddiness can be due to cervical straightening and muscular spasm. U can use hot water bag n gel over neck and shoulder to relax muscles. Physical therapy will help you in proper recovery n muscle strengthening.
