Will Going To A Chiropractor Help Me In Getting Rid Of Dowager Hump?

Yes I believe I have a Dowager Hump. I was in a accident a few years ago, where I was rear ended from the back of my car. I have notice the hump for about 5years now. I would like to know if going to a Chiropactor would help me in getting rid if this hump befor it gets too big.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

In my opinion I highly recommend it will help you a lot. But it is not the main and only way for treating your back kyphosis but at least it is more safer than other medical and surgical interventions, and their side effects and bruising and stitches marks.

I would choose it my first line of treatment with all other specific physiotherapic exercises or maneuvers. I would also try the use of back belts or bracing that also helps in such cases of kyphosis.

Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask.

Regards,
Dr. Ahmed Aly Hassan
