Hard to answer: There are two areas where the spine curves naturally,There is a frontward bowing just below the head and another just above the pelvis.The natural neck bowing is countered by a backward ridging effect over the base of the neck and upper shoulders.There is no natural side to side curve. Since you are vague on location only a generic description of normal is possible.
