Cervical Spine Alignment

Meaning

Cervical Spine Alignment refers to the optimal anatomical positioning of the seven vertebrae (C1-C7) in the neck, maintaining the natural lordotic curve essential for biomechanical stability and neurological integrity. Correct alignment minimizes mechanical stress on the spinal cord and surrounding vasculature, which is critical for unimpeded signaling between the brain and the rest of the body. Proper posture supports the delicate balance required for neuro-endocrine communication and overall systemic function.
