A member asked:

Can physical therapy help mild reversal of the cervical curvature?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Indirectly: We see the reversal when the muscles are in spasm and the neck is in pain. When the pain goes away and the muscles relax their guarding we see a return of normal curvature.
