Spinous process: If you can feel the spinous processes slightly zig-zag, and there is no pain associated with that, you probably are anatomically built that way; sometimes our bones form slightly differently from one-to-another due to traction of muscles or other forces, and maybe you have alittle scoliosis even. Most of the time this is all benign, and needs no treatment. If there is pain, go see your doctor!
