Summary
The hunchback often develops only in the course of life, but should nevertheless try with all means to prevent a hunchback. It should always be paid attention to an upright posture. The regular performance of small stretching exercises or strengthening exercises also helps to prevent a hunchback.
A hunchback can also be congenital. However, in most cases the hunchback develops over the course of a lifetime due to poor posture, injuries, tumors or degenerative diseases such as osteoporosis, ankylosing spondylitis or polyarthritis. In some cases the cause is also unknown.
