Evidently not. Of course many of us have had sore necks. The usual cure for a sore neck on the bike is here: https://www.bikeforums.net/road-cycl...discovery.html
Use a mirror.

Another thing that's very effective is exercise: side dumbbell raises, front dumbbell raises, rear dumbbell raises, seated dumbbell presses. Superset them using the same weight for 3 sets of 12. One can also rig a head harness and do bent-over head raises.

Another thing is Alexander Technique (google). It works. Way too many people one sees walking around with their heads shoved forward and necks s-shaped. That gets worse and worse with age, but it's unnecessary and fixable. One can retrain to walk around upright, shoulders back, neck straight.

One thing I've learned over the years is not to see chiropractors, and not accept even an MD's advice that some issue is not reversible.
