Understanding the condition
A neck hump - sometimes called dowager's hump or a buffalo hump - often develops from long-term forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and changes to the upper spine over time. While posture alone is rarely the whole story, persistent postural strain can contribute to neck pain, headaches, and reduced mobility.
- Forward head posture from desk work or device use
- Rounded upper back (thoracic kyphosis)
- Fat pad or prominence at the base of the neck
- Neck stiffness and muscle tension
- Headaches linked to cervical spine strain
How chiropractic care may help
Chiropractic care focuses on understanding how your spine moves, where restrictions exist, and what factors may be contributing to your posture. We use thorough assessment - including postural analysis and X-ray review where appropriate - to build a personalised plan that may include adjustments, mobility work, and practical advice for everyday habits.
- Detailed postural and spinal assessment
- X-ray analysis where clinically indicated
- Targeted cervical and thoracic care
- Practical ergonomic and movement advice
- Honest discussion of realistic outcomes

“Posture is one of the most common concerns we see. I take time to assess the whole picture - not just how you stand, but how your spine actually moves - before recommending any care.”

Frequently asked questions
Can a neck hump go away?
Outcomes depend on the underlying cause, how long the postural pattern has been present, and individual factors. Some clients see meaningful improvement with consistent care and habit changes; others may need a longer-term management approach. We'll give you an honest assessment after your first visit.
Do I need X-rays?
Not always. We may recommend imaging where it would help clarify your diagnosis and guide safe, effective care. We'll explain our reasoning before any referral.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies by individual. After your assessment, we'll discuss a realistic care plan with clear goals - without locking you into unnecessary visits.
