  • What is hunchback?

    Humpback is a relatively common spinal deformity, which is a morphological change caused by the kyphosis of the thoracic spine. Mainly due to weak back muscles, looseness and weakness.

  • Humpback can be divided into two types: posture and structure.

    Posture is a slight hunchback caused by normal bad posture. The bone structure has not changed, but muscle tension and spasm, which can be improved by adjustment. If it is a structural change, that is, the spine has been deformed, the head will tilt forward and cause blood circulation obstacles to the head, insufficient blood supply to the head, and the pelvis in a forward or backward tilt position will cause waist pain. It can cause local pain in the knee joint, heel base, and insufficient blood supply to the brain, as well as unclear vision, tinnitus, and dysphagia.
