Determining the relationship between cervical lordosis and neck complaints.

Abstract in brief

• The study found that patients with cervical lordosis of 20 degrees or less are more likely to experience neck pain, with a stronger link when the lordosis is 0 degrees or less, suggesting that reduced curvature is associated with neck complaints.
• Males tend to have greater cervical lordosis than females, especially notable in adults aged 40 to 49 years, indicating possible gender and age-related differences in neck alignment.
• Maintaining a cervical lordosis between 31 and 40 degrees could be a useful target for chiropractic treatment to help manage or prevent neck pain, based on the significant relationship between normal lordosis range and reduced symptoms.]
