A member asked:

Can having a straight neck (reverse curve) cause headaches? im seeing a chiro but is acupuncture and/or pt better? headaches for 4 weeks. chiro for 2 weeks is only making minimal progress?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Suggestions: Would definitely NOT have a chiropractor snap or crack your neck.. Gentle traction would be allowed only. Far better and safer would be acupuncture and physical therapy. Would also have your doctor aware of your situation.
