Straightening of the physiological curvature of the cervical spine refers to the disappearance of the normal physiological curvature of the cervical spine or the emergence of curvature inversion.
The normal physiological anatomy of the cervical spine is the anterior arch of the physiological curvature. The normal physiological curvature of the cervical spine disappears or inverts due to prolonged low head work, cervical spine degeneration, and traumatic injuries, which in turn cause cervical spine disc herniation, spinal stenosis, and nerve compression, which may cause neck pain and discomfort, as well as upper extremity pain and numbness, etc. Patients with straightened cervical curvature are advised to avoid prolonged low head work and sit in a proper posture.
Patients with straightened cervical curvature are advised to avoid working with head down for a long period of time and to sit in a good posture. If symptoms such as neck pain and upper limb discomfort occur, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to complete relevant examinations to clarify the degree of injury and to further treat the problem if necessary.
