What Causes Lumbar Lordosis?
Hi I'm 36 years old. I met with a traffic accident three weeks ago. I was the passenger, the vehicle stopped suddenly. I fell and sat on the floor and sustained injuries as a result. I felt persistent pain on my back and my left hip. X-ray was taken and revealed loss of normal lumbar lordosis. I would like to know whether the traffic accident will cause the loss of normal lumbar lordosis ? Many thanks for your help in this matter.

Hello,
I have studied your case with diligence.
As per your symptom and history there is possibility of acute muscle spasm in back muscle due to accident.
Due to compression of this nerve root there is pain associated with it.
For these symptoms muscle relaxant with analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started consulting your treating doctor.
Till time take rest and continue analgesic available over the counter take rest, and hot fomentation.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
You may need to do MRI spine if symptoms persist.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
