  1. Dowager’s/Neck Hump Causes

  2. Poor Posture According to a report from the NIH (National Institute Of Health), about one-fourth of Americans experience back pain in any quarter of an annual period. It is common due to posture problems, and it is also one of the most common reasons for neck hump. Some examples of bad posture are forward slump, extended neck while sitting, etc. These can lead to weak muscles, which further results in a condition like a neck/Dowager’s hump.

  3. Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is a medical condition where bones start becoming weak and losing calcium. It is also a common cause of a neck hump, as bones provide the support our body needs. Once they start becoming, the curvature in the spine is inevitable, which can lead to neck hump.

  4. Regressive Changes In The Spine Often, the changes in the spine do not happen instantaneously and progress over time, or rather, they regress as the changes are usually in the wrong direction. These changes may result due to poor posture or the regular aging process. Sometimes, tumors and infections can also lead to these changes, which, in turn, leads to neck hump.

  5. Congenital Problems It is a very rare scenario, but there are situations where the formation of the spine does not properly take place before the birth of a child. It can also lead to a hump at the back of the neck, however uncommon it may be.

  6. Scheurmann’s Kyphosis Scheurmann’s Kyphosis is a condition that is common among teenagers. At that age, the spine may develop into a rectangular shape instead of the regular wedge shape. It can further lead to a dowager’s hump.
