A member asked:
The doctor said i have curvature of the spine and a large fat pad on my neck/upper back area. its extremely painful.. is this curable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A Bend In The Road: Hard to say without more details (e.g. how severe the curvature) but there are many non-surgical approaches/therapies to try to at least make some improvements and feel better. Talk to your doctor about forms of physical therapy and conditioning and discuss the exact nature and severity of your spine and what options you have. Get a consult with a physiatrist and keep a positive proactive attitude
