Help, what to do about abnormally long neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal variant: Long necks are a normal variation. The human has 7 cervical vertebrae (neck bones). Interestingly, so does a giraffe. Assuming you don't have neck problems like pain, or symptoms involving the nerves into your extremities, your neck length is likely normal!
