How to Heal a Neck Hump with Chiropractic

North Bridge Chiropractic, the office of Ellen M. Lazar, DC, wants to help people heal their neck hump. This rounding of the back is not a growth—it is abnormal posture and an alteration in the shape of the spine due to weakened or damaged vertebrae. This condition, called kyphosis, results from chronic forward leaning, a posture common in a world of computer screens and devices. Over time, a habit of poor posture can cause us to develop an abnormal curve of the upper vertebrae and a mass of tissue at the lower part of the neck.

            If kyphosis is caused by poor posture, Lazar may be able to help one to reduce the hump by teaching key exercises to stand tall again. Even if a case of kyphosis isn’t associated with posture, chiropractic care can reduce inflammation and decrease muscle spasms.

            North Bridge Chiropractic combines and incorporates nutritional and physical rehabilitation into patient care. Lazar graduated from Life Chiropractic College in 1990 and opened her clinic in 2013. She became a certified RYT-200 yoga instructor in 2010.
