my chiro said my neck is "too straight" and i can feel it in my spine theres a large bump and then in goes in too far.

i understand that since im hypermobile it's likely that i just did this to myself over time. but i was wondering if you could develop a straight neck from having tos?

It often happens with long term forward head use - desk work, computer, art/crafts, reading/studying.etc

I can't remember if it it called lordosis or kyphosis

Way back when I was having PT for my shoulder sx only before I knew anything about TOS - the PTs would mention kyphotic posture - but didn't go in to itin any detail -and I didn't ask many questions back then.. it was before we had internet at home.
Plus I assumed I would heal up as always and be fine....

It's more of a result of use and postures than a cause.IMO

I had a moderate "hump" by the time I went to chiropractor and after the worst of my symptoms were resolved with treatment the hump went to a more normal appearance. {misalignments and extreme tension?? perhaps}

that makes sense to me especially since i'm on the computer so much getting into the IT field. ive never paid attention to my posture or ergonomics until recently. i think focusing more on my shoulder winging would be more useful. maybe my chiro is just trained to focus more on necks, etc.

mine is straight too annd it was blamed on whiplash.
