Cervical Scoliosis: The alignment of the spine can vary from person to person and without looking at your entire spine, it would be impossible to know if your cervical alignment is an isolated problem or is a response to additional alignment issues lower in the spine. The most important issue is your overall spinal balance and whether you head is aligned with your pelvis.
