Kyphosis

Kyphosis

Kyphosis is a spinal disorder characterized by an excessive outward curvature of the upper back, causing a rounded or hunched posture. This condition can result from various factors, including poor posture, degenerative diseases like osteoporosis, congenital abnormalities, or injury. Mild cases may cause minimal symptoms, while severe kyphosis can lead to pain, stiffness, and difficulty breathing or moving. 

Treatment options depend on the underlying cause and severity and may include physical therapy, bracing, pain management, or in severe cases, surgical intervention to correct the curvature and alleviate symptoms, aiming to improve posture and overall spinal health.

Kyphosis F&Q's

Kyphosis is a spinal condition characterized by an excessive forward curvature of the upper back, creating a rounded or "hunchback" appearance. It can result from developmental issues, degenerative diseases, or injury.

Causes of kyphosis include congenital spinal abnormalities, poor posture (postural kyphosis), aging-related spinal degeneration, Scheuermann's disease (a condition affecting adolescents during growth spurts), and osteoporosis-related vertebral fractures.

Kyphosis is diagnosed through a physical examination, assessment of medical history, and imaging tests like X-rays, which can show the curvature's severity and the spine's condition, or MRI for more detailed views.

Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include back pain, stiffness, fatigue, and in severe cases, difficulty breathing due to pressure on the lungs and restricted movement.

Treatment varies based on the cause and severity, including physical therapy, exercises, pain relief medications, bracing (especially in adolescents), and surgical intervention for severe cases to correct the curvature and relieve symptoms.

While congenital or disease-related kyphosis cannot always be prevented, postural kyphosis can be minimized through regular exercise, maintaining good posture, and strengthening the back and abdominal muscles to support the spine.
