    Depending on how serious there may or may not be any "cure" has the doctor discussed any treatment, Physical therapy, braces and support.

    Actually I don't really know... the doctor said my spine is bent towards the right and yes the 'hump' is at the upper right of the back and I don't think it is very severe as it doesnot cause any problem... can some one tell what kind of a doctor can cure this?(orthopedician?)secondly is there a cure other than surgery?
