How to manage hunch-back?


Q: I have a hunch back for the past 7 years which is not phycially abnormal by sight but I feel uncomfortable thinking about it. Is there any way using medicines or exercise to control its further growth before it is too late?

A:What you have is a crooked spine which is giving the appearance of a hunch-back. Aside from the cosmetic effects of this, it sometimes compromises the breathing and the spinal cord. If you haven't as yet shown any doctor, you need to show yourself to a spine specialist who specifically is interested in scoliosis.
