Cervical Hypolordosis in Lithia FL

A healthy cervical spine should have a gentle “C-shaped” curve, known as lordosis. When this curve flattens or reverses—a condition called cervical hypolordosis—the neck is forced into abnormal stress patterns. This structural imbalance can lead to chronic neck pain, disc degeneration, muscle tension, headaches, and even nerve irritation. Over time, the loss of the natural curve increases strain on the spinal cord and nervous system, reducing overall health and function.

At STRONGLIFE Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, we correct cervical hypolordosis using Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®)—the most researched method of structural spinal correction. Through a combination of cervical extension traction, Mirror-Image® adjustments, and corrective exercises, we focus on restoring the natural curve of the neck. Clinical studies have shown that CBP® protocols not only reduce pain but also correct cervical alignment:

• Harrison et al. demonstrated that cervical extension traction can restore cervical lordosis and improve patient outcomes https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15129202/
• Moustafa et al. found that correcting cervical alignment with CBP® methods improved pain, disability scores, and even nerve function in patients with chronic neck disorders https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21319741/
• Shilton et al. confirmed that long-term improvements in neck curvature correlate with significant reductions in disability and improved quality of life https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30131384/

By addressing the structural cause of neck pain rather than just the symptoms, CBP® care provides long-lasting results. Patients who restore their cervical curve often report fewer headaches, less stiffness, and improved overall function. Most importantly, correcting hypolordosis helps protect the spine from future degeneration, giving patients the opportunity to live with less pain and better long-term health.
