  3. Dowager's hump. Way this can be treated?

Dowager's hump

2017-10-30 11:39:55
I have been having some pain in the upper back and shoulders occasionally since the last few years, because of what seems to be a dowagers hump. Is there a way this can be treated ? Can the ugly swelling at the back gradually go away with posture correction exercises etc.?
