Can I get rid of the hunch on my neck?

Question

I have this hunch on my neck, just about where my back begins. I really hate it because it shows when I wear my hair up. I think it's because I don't sit, or stand up straight. It kind of hurts me when I do so. Is that a bad habit? Is there anyway I can get rid of it? If I start standing up straight do you think it'll go away? When I do sit or stand up straight, it starts to hurt after a while. I really don't wanna grow older and develop an even larger hunch than the one I have now. What should I do?

Answer 1

the "hump" is natural. everyone has it, some a bit larger than others. it is called the vertebral prominence...a bone from the lower neck or upper back. it will not get larger or smaller (depending on your age)

Answer 2

exercise and massage

Answer 3

First see your doctor, but then go get a massage.
