Cervical lordosis is a natural curvature of the spine that helps to support the weight of the head and neck. When this curve is lost, it can put stress on the discs in the spine, which can lead to disc herniation. [caption id="attachment_11333" align="alignleft" width="300"] Sunset...

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36049284/ "Cervical kyphosis was present in 60% of patients with radiologically evident degenerative disc disease, with C5 showing the most posterior displacement." Background: Cervical kyphosis mechanically influences the intervertebral discs, which may lead to neck, shoulder, and scapular pain. Objectives: To investigate the incidence of cervical kyphosis...
"Conclusions: A reverse correlation between cranial incidence angle and cervical degenerative disc disease development is demonstrated. This correlation is valid between cervical lordosis and cervical degenerative disc disease development. Therefore, cervical sagittal profile and the cranial incidence angle and cervical lordosis measurements should be performed...

When a person has joint damage or instability, it causes an increase in motion between two adjacent bones (aka joint) causing excessive stress on the supporting structures and nerve endings within...
"The future direction of cervical deformity correction should include a comprehensive approach in assessing global cervicalpelvic relationships." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23768023/ This paper is a narrative review of normal cervical alignment, methods for quantifying alignment, and how alignment is associated with cervical deformity, myelopathy, and adjacent-segment disease (ASD), with discussions of health-related...
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35505303/ Background: The uniqueness of spinal sagittal alignment in thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), for example, the drastically smaller thoracic kyphosis seen in some patients, has been recognized but not yet fully understood. The purpose of this study was to clarify the characteristics of sagittal alignment...
"The results suggest that unilateral 90° shoulder joint abduction and contralateral hip joint abduction in the hands-and-knees and standing positions may produce selective and significant contraction of the LMF muscle." "This is why we treat the entire spine and extremities with a focus of improving the...
