Hey there! Hunchback or any other abnormal posture causes malalignment of the bony structures of the body. Due to which there can be irritation to nerves causing the tingling. A poor posture arises because of plenty of reasons.....some muscles get weak and long..while others strong and short..... It would be better to consult face to face.
Next Steps
Please visit a orthopaedician for your issue. Can't be mapped online.
Health Tips
See to it that you don't have any other problems and correlate.

Hunchback and tingling both are different but related to your posture.
To reduce tingling the compression needs to be removed and hunch back can be corrected through postural correction exercises and other therapies.
Maintain proper posture, consult online/offline with physical therapist for exercises and treatment.

Hey
Yes the hunchback posture can cause tingling sensation.
Depends on the degree of change
The spinal nerves might be compressed causing the same.
It would be better to understand the reason of this bad posture
And if it is due to work and not genetic, then should be corrected conservatively to reduce the chance of aggravation.
Next Steps
Improve posture and daily routine

Hunchback does not causes tingling. Tingling is due to some nerve compression in cervical spine. Yes poor posture is responsible for this. Need more details about neck . Please consult online so that more accurate treatment plan can be chalked out.
