How Can A Dowager S Hump Be Treated?
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.

Hi,
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.
