Answer:
Cervical lordosis refers to the curve in the spine at the level of the neck. Normally it curves backwards, with the convexity toward the front of the body and the concavity toward the rear.
So, a more pronounced curve than normal would be "increased cervical lordosis". Since the shape of the curve is maintained by the background tension of the supporting muscles, if the muscles grew weak and lacked tone, the cervical spine would sag, and lordosis would increase. On the other hand, decreased cervical lordosis usually means the muscles are too tight, as in spasm, and are pulling the curve of the neck to be more straight.
