What is a reverse cervical curve and how does it affect your health?

Chiropractors treat many conditions resulting from consistently poor posture, including a reverse cervical curve. While there are natural curves throughout the neck and the spinal system that develop throughout childhood, sometimes people lose this curvature as they get older. Although this is often linked to the natural aging process, it can also be accelerated by slouched postures. In some cases, people are born with a reversed curve.

It's important to have an intact cervical curve to support healthy spinal motion. A healthy cervical lordosis is when the concave side faces backward. If a reverse cervical curve is not corrected, the spine will struggle to function properly and neck pain will likely persist as the spine needs to compensate for the reversed curved. Chiropractic treatments can help to minimize pain and proactively address a reverse cervical curve before it leads to further issues, including vertigo, dizziness, disc bulges, hernias, arthritis, and spinal degeneration.

The curve is very important from a structural standpoint. The primary areas of concern are the lumbar and cervical spine. The curves help support the weight of the head and body. When the cervical curve is diminished you may experience headaches besides neck pain. When the lumbar curve is lost the pelvic bones tend to subluxate causing tremendous amounts of pain in the lower back. Chiropractic care can help restore the curves and get patients out of pain.
