Dowager's Hump Treatment
Dowager's Hump Treatment
The Dowager's hump is created when the seventh cervical vertebra (C7) and the first thoracic vertebra (T1) are protruded excessively backward.
The appearance of a "Bag or Pouch" indicates that the soft tissue of the neck has been damaged, which is the early stage of cervical spondylosis. If this continues for a long time, it will lead to accelerated degeneration of the intervertebral disc, and bone formation at the edges of the vertebrae and small joints. Thereby, compressing the cervical nerves and causing symptoms such as numbness and limb weakness.
It has a lot to do with hunchback! It often occurs in people over 40 years old, regardless of gender. The seventh cervical vertebra and the first thoracic vertebra protrude, and fat accumulates to form a fatty pouch. First, use manual techniques to correct the cervical and thoracic vertebrae, and then use impact massage to loosen the muscles and reduce fat.
