I feel like I have a hunchback. What should I do?
I do not know your age, but at any age, if you think your back is hunching over more, you should have it checked out. It may be something quite simple, or something that requires treatment. Usually, this will require an examination, preferably by an orthopedic surgeon, and an X-ray of the entire spine taken from the side (called a sagittal view). Don't wait! READ MORE
