The Spine Journal Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2017, Pages 880–888 Ella Been, PT, PhD Abstract Background Context Cervical lordosis is of great importance to posture and function. Neck pain and disability is often associated with cervical lordosis malalignment. Surgical procedures involving cervical lordosis stabilization or restoration must take into account age and gender differences […]
J Craniovertebr Junction Spine. 2017 Jan-Mar; 8(1): 9–14. doi: 10.4103/0974-8237.199877 PMCID: PMC5324370 PMID: 28250631 Laura Lippa Abstract Neck pain is a diffuse problem with a high incidence and often leads to the more or less appropriate prescription of imaging studies of the cervical spine. In general, this is represented by a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) […]
