A member asked:

I have bad posture. i have a bump behind my neck probably due to my head always being down. is there a way i can get rid of it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely C7...normal.: The bump at the back of your neck is likely the C7 spinous process. This is normal, and everyone normally has it. It is more prominent in some. (Not having it is abnormal.) You can try to minimize it by correct posture, but do not worry about it.
