Right now, make sure you have enough nutrition - calcium, Vitamin A,B,C etc...
And keep active - make sure that your back is strong and so is the rest of you.
For the most part, many people that have effects from a bent back is because they didn't have the nutritional knowledge that we know now when they were young.

The way I understand it is the hump is caused by tiny fractures in your spine. Eat well, exercise and get enough calcium.
