Neck straightening is an important spinal problem. There are many curves in the spine that provide balance. There is also a C-shaped curve in the neck area. One end of this curve is located in the back area, and the other end extends to the back of the head. The health problem called neck straightening occurs when this curve loses its shape and becomes a straight line over time.
Symptoms of Neck Straightening
The most characteristic symptom of neck straightening is poor posture. The curve that loses its shape due to neck straightening causes the head to lean forward. Sometimes, the poor posture can reach a level serious enough to be visible from the outside. Pain can also be seen with neck straightening. Pain appears as neck straightening progresses. Restriction of neck movements is also seen with neck straightening. Movement restrictions such as inability to turn the neck right, left, forward, and backward are among the symptoms of neck straightening. In advanced cases, numbness and tingling may be observed in the body organs connected to the nerves due to the nerves being compressed by neck straightening.
