A straight neck is not a good thing.
Your cervical spine is designed to have a gentle natural curve. When that curve becomes straight, often due to poor posture, extended phone use, or long hours at a desk, it can place extra stress on the muscles, discs, and nerves on your neck.
A loss of this natural curve may lead to neck pain, headaches, stiffness, reduced range of motion, and increased wear on the spine over time. It can also affect how well your head and spine absorb everyday movement and stress.
Protecting your posture, limiting prolonged looking down at your phone, and addressing neck discomfort early can help support long term cervical spine health.
