Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
As the women in my family age, we develop what my mother called a dowager s hump at the base of our necks, which pushes our heads forward. Are there any exercises we can do to combat this? I pull my head back when I think of it, but this actually makes me feel a little nauseated some times.
Consult a neurosurgeon and get evaluated. You might require an MRI scan for further assessment. If you experience any symptoms, surgical correction may be required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
General & Family Physician
