Good Morning,

There is a debate in my office.

With no other information on the order, what would I code Straightening of the Cervical Lordosis??

737.20.............738.5 .............
 
The normal curvature of the cervical spine is often straightened or even reversed in muscle strain / sprain of the neck region. Straightening of the lordosis is when the spine does not have it's normal slight curvature
We can't code it as 737.20. May be 738.5
