Our study consisted of 155 adult female patients with fibromyalgia and 115 adult female controls with a rheumatic disease other than fibromyalgia. We observed that in 83.2% of patients, the cervical spine was straight, with a Cobb angle of 10 degrees or less. In patients with fibromyalgia, the loss of cervical curvature was about 6.5 times greater compared with that of control subjects (50.3% vs 7.8%;

Very nice find. Also increased muscle pressure it says.

wish I could figure out how to figure this out (without the MRI of course)

The Florida Prolotherapy Group/ Dr. Hauser: he goes after the loss of curvature and they use weird weights and straps. You walk around wearing that for quite a while.

My problem is structural back issues since the first photo of me as a toddler. One place is messed up. By the time your an adult, thats most of the spine and at 69, I'm in fairly big trouble here.

I do not have the proper curve in ANY location of my spine let alone my neck.

Here is Dr. Hauser discussion the neck curvature and showing the weights they use.
