Radiologist, Interventional ,  's  Response
The cervical spine is normally curved, known as "cervical lordosis". When this normal curvature is lost, and the cervical spine is straightened, this is a sign of neck muscles spasm.
That's all what we can interpret from the cervical spine X ray. We cannot detect the cause of muscle spasm from this examination.

Otherwise, the report is stating normal findings.
