Straight Neck and Forward Head Posture
Q. If I leave a straight neck alone, does it turn into a cervical disc problem?
A.
It can progress that way. Once the cervical curve flattens, the capacity to absorb impact falls and the disc is pressed continuously.
📝 Detailed Answer
The C-shaped curve of the neck is a structure for absorbing impact. When that curve disappears, the cushioning capacity falls and the discs between the neck vertebrae are under continuous pressure. If this state continues, it can lead on to a cervical disc problem or degenerative change.
If the symptoms of a straight neck are marked, it is better to have it checked before it progresses to a cervical disc problem.
