Abstract: A method and apparatus for restoring spinal cervical curvature by having the patient lie on his back on a surface with his neck at the C3/C6 vertebra positioned in the groove formed in the top of a block of a substantially non-deformable material supported in an upright position on the surface. The width of the groove is greater than the width of the patient's neck, and the thickness of the block at least at the top surface is generally in the range of 1/2 inch to 3 inches. The height of the groove at its lowest position is sufficient so that the patient's head is supported above the surface, but is not so great as to be uncomfortable for the patient. The patient remains in this position for several minutes and the treatment is repeated preferably three times a day for a period of several months.
