01Understanding the condition

What is cervical hyperlordosis?

If you’ve noticed a forward-tilting posture in your neck and shoulders, or your head seems to jut out in front of your body more than it used to, it might not just be poor posture. You could have Cervical Hyperlordosis, an excessive forward curve of the neck.

Your cervical spine naturally has a gentle curve, but too much of that curve changes how weight loads through the neck and can lead to pain, tension, and strain. We see this condition more and more in a world of screens, slouching, and long hours of sitting.

At Cavanaugh Chiropractic in Lafayette, the good news we share with patients is simple: you’re not stuck with it. With the right evaluation and care, you can improve posture, reduce pain, and protect your spine.

02Signs & symptoms
