-   Straightening of the lumbar spine  is noted reflecting parvertebral  muscle spasm
-   Fine spine bifida SVI is noted
Please need your comment any consultancy about is the above is dangerous what kind of treatment required ?

Wish to hear from you soon

Answer
AH

Here are my comments in capitol letters:

- Straightening of the lumbar spine  is noted reflecting parvertebral  muscle spasm

THIS IS CONFIRMING THAT YOU HAVE MUSCLE SPASMS WHICH MAY OR MAYNOT BE CAUSING THE STRAIGHTENING OF YOUR SPINE.

- Fine spine bifida SVI is noted

THIS IS TYPICALLY NOT OF ANY CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE TO LOWER BACK PAIN SYNDROMES.

I would suggest seeking chiropractic consultation and examination.
