See your doctor: Cervical kyphosis is a reversal of the normal cervical curvature (which should be lordosis). This could be due to injury, muscle spasm, or congenital defect. It is quite unusual. After your doctor investigates, referral to a physical therapist to instruct you on a customized exercise program should help.

Kyphosis: cervical kyphosis can cause pain or even nerve issues or even issues with the spinal cord. Treatments typically include anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, extended physical therapy, or even injections. Surgical intervention would also be considered depending on the severity of this and the symptoms.
