A member asked:
Your opinion on very straight neck (military neck) i do have some occasional neck pain that feels like cramped or pulled muscles, similar to text neck. maybe just slow healing muscles and unrelated to the spine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If the usual curve of the spine of your neck is straightened, it is usually because the muscles that support the neck are in spasm. This spasm can be from strain or injury and your doctor can often help with physical therapy and sometimes medications that could help relax the muscles and return the neck to a normal curvature.
