Too straight Cervical spine

A cervical spine that is too straight is usually congenital or can be the result of whiplash, poor posture or other malpositions in the spine. The spinal column is characterized by lordosis (curvature of the spine to the front) in the cervical and lumbar spine and kyphosis (curvature of the spine to the back) in the thoracic spine, since the compression of the spine can be better absorbed during everyday stress. If the spinal column is too steep, less buffer remains.

If there are malpositions between the vertebrae, these can be carefully resolved. However, treatment of the spinal column and ribs is also extremely important, since this area may be the trigger for the steepness of the cervical spine. Since the load can no longer be cushioned so well, earlier wear of the vertebrae and intervertebral discs occurs.

The stronger the muscles are, the more protective they are around the spine.

Symptoms range from tiredness, fatigue, headaches, neck pain, dizziness, radiating into the hands, numbness and loss of strength. The rear part of the cervical spine with the back extensor, trapezius and the short neck muscles are very tense and should be loosened and strengthened in therapy.

Wear of the cervical spine due to malpositioning

The wear of the spine due to a malposition is particularly high. The spine should show lordosis in the cervical and lumbar spine and kyphosis in the BWS. This arrangement is useful because the compressions acting on the spine can be absorbed.

If this position changes, the spinal column is subjected to a completely different load. You suffer from a slipped disc?

If the forces occur axially, they can be absorbed without causing major damage.
If the force acts on the front part of the spinal column, it can lead to a herniated disc at the front or degenerative changes in the front part of the vertebral bodies.
If the forces act on the back of the spine, this can lead to damage to the intervertebral discs, degenerative changes in the back of the vertebral body, facet joint arthrosis and constrictions in the spinal canal.
The spinal canal is particularly critical. If the intervertebral disc material or bony bulges constrict the spinal canal, the patient will feel strong radiations and pain. Are you suffering from a slipped disc?
