In this episode of The Healthy Commute, we dive into the common yet often misunderstood condition known as the "neck hump." We explore the science behind what causes this forward curvature at the base of the neck, from everyday posture habits to more complex hormonal and genetic factors.

You'll learn:

  • How prolonged screen time and poor posture contribute to a neck hump.
  • The role of hormones, like estrogen, in maintaining bone health—and how changes during menopause can increase the risk.
  • Why women are more commonly affected than men.
  • What steps you can take to prevent or manage this condition, including exercises, ergonomic tips, and chiropractic care.

Whether you're noticing early signs or just want to improve your posture, this episode provides actionable insights to help you stay aligned, confident, and pain-free.
