Article Synopsis
  • Cervical hyperlordosis, a rare condition in children, was treated using Chiropractic Biophysics (CBP®) techniques on a 15-year-old girl suffering from chronic migraines and neck pain after a martial arts injury.
  • The treatment involved cervical distraction traction and corrective exercises over 12 weeks, resulting in a significant reduction in neck curve and complete recovery from her symptoms.
