Kyphosis or loss of such curvatures bears weight upon the disks, leading to their ultimate degeneration. This process of deterioration is a form of osteoarthritis and in the spine is known as&nbsp;degenerative spondylosis.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph\" style=\"text-align:left;\"><strong style=\"\">DIAGNOSIS<\/strong><br \/>At ChiroCure your chiropractor will recognise a cervical curve reversal upon viewing your posture,&nbsp;&nbsp;taking a comprehensive history, a thorough examination, questions about sleep, work and lifestyle.&nbsp;A definitive diagnosis may be obtained via a standing lateral X-ray of the spine.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>  <!--BLOG_SUMMARY_END--><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHAT CAUSES INCORRECT SPINAL CURVES?
