How can I get rid of my hunch back?!


Question: How can I get rid of my hunch back!?
I've just turned 16 and over the past year I've noticed I've actually got abit of a hunch back, well my back is like an S shape, not litterally but its defiantly not straight as it should be!. I'm too embarresed to tell my mum or a doctor and I've read that I might have to have a big operation if its Kyphosis or somthing!. I'm scared about that, but are there any other ways of fixing my hunch!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
If its kyphosis, there isn't anything you can do to get rid of it permanently!. A chiropractor can't treat bones that have grown curved by manipulating soft tissue!.

Depending on a back exam by a scoliosis specialist, you may be a candidate for bracing!. I believe that a scoliosis specialist can also treat kyphosis!. I could be wrong, of course!. If your back hurts all the time, you might be able to go to a pain management doctor!. Worst case is that you have corrective surgery, but that probably won't happen for a long time, if at all!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like scoliosis, but I am not positive!.!.!. Here's site with some info on it:

It would be good to go see a doctor and have it checked, just to keep track of its progress!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Going to a chiropractor can help - its usually just the shape of your back which can be fixed through various exercises and going to a chiropractor to adjust the spine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
