Description
- Kyphosis is a spinal disorder characterized by an abnormal forward curvature of the upper back. This condition can result in a rounded or hunched appearance and may be caused by factors such as poor posture, degenerative diseases, or structural abnormalities.
Need for Medical Attention
- Medical attention is necessary when kyphosis causes pain, stiffness, or affects normal functioning. Severe cases may require interventions ranging from physical therapy and bracing to surgical correction, depending on the underlying cause.
FAQ
- Can kyphosis be prevented?
While some factors are beyond control, maintaining good posture, engaging in regular exercise, and addressing spine-related issues early can help prevent worsening of kyphosis.
- What surgical options are available for severe kyphosis?
Surgical options may include spinal fusion, osteotomy (bone removal or repositioning), or implantation of corrective devices. The choice depends on the severity and cause of kyphosis.
