Hunchback
See an orthopedist or a physical therapist when you notice that the back takes on a more pronounced curve than usual: a hunched back describes that forward-curved posture, which may be due to postural habits or changes in the vertebrae.
What is it? It is an alteration of the spine's normal curvature that causes the shoulders and upper trunk to lean forward.
Common causes: Among the associated factors are sustained poor posture, muscle weakness, and, in some cases, changes in the bones of the spine.
Which specialist treats it? The general practitioner can guide the initial evaluation, while the orthopedist and the physical therapist help investigate the cause. It is advisable to have it checked in time by a professional to understand its origin.
