Pure posture and not sitting/standing straight.
The medical term for this is scoliosis, which is a curving of the spine.
I also have this and have a less severe case, since the doctor said on most cases, or in later stages it comes with severe backaches as well.

Kyphosis (Greek - kyphos, a hump), in general terms, is a curvature of the upper spine. It can be either the result of bad posture or a structural anomaly in the spine.

Try to do some daily stretching exercises. That could possibly fix the prob over time.

Kyphosis. My grandmother was born with it--a birth defect. Her cruel brothers called her "Humpy" all her life.
