<s>[INST] My sister s C7 area looks like she has a mass growing around that area. You see it a lot in people who don t have the best posture. It looks like her head is going forward and not up with a hump behind her neck to shoulder area. Is this a calcification of soft tissue? Is there anything she could do to correct it? [/INST] Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. The problem you are discussing your sister neck, probably is a deformation of vertebral column, called kyphosis. I recommend your sister plain radiographs of the neck and a consult with an orthopedic surgeon to identify the pathology and to discuss the treatment. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. </s>
