Kyphosis is curvature of the spine that causes the top of the back to appear more rounded than normal. Everyone has some degree of curvature in their spine. However, a curve of more than 45 degrees is considered excessive.
Abnormally increased curvature of the thoracic portion of the spine. Deformities of the spine characterized by an exaggerated convexity of the vertebral column. The forward bending of the thoracic region usually is more than 40 degrees. This deformity sometimes is called round back or hunchback.
An increased front-to-back curve of the spine is called kyphosis. Kyphosis is an exaggerated, forward rounding of the upper back. In older people, kyphosis is often due to weakness in the spinal bones that causes them to compress or crack.
Structural kyphosis is further divided into two types:Primary Structural Kyphosis: This type of kyphosis isn't caused by another condition. One type of primary structural kyphosis is congenital kyphosis. ... Secondary Structural Kyphosis: This type of kyphosis is caused by another condition.
The normal spine can bend from 20 to 45 degrees of curvature in the upper back area. Kyphosis is a type of spinal deformity.
Though the conditions may be similar, they aren't exactly the same. Scoliosis is a sideways curve of your spine — often taking the shape of the letter 'S' or 'C'. Kyphosis is more of a forward rounding of the back, which leads to a hunchback or slouching posture.
6: Pain in thoracic spine.
Lordosis (also known as swayback) is when the lower back, above the buttocks, curves inward too much, causing the child's abdomen to protrude and buttocks to stick out. Kyphosis is when the upper spine curves too far outward, forming a hump on the upper back.
Poor posture in childhood, such as slouching, leaning back in chairs and carrying heavy schoolbags, can cause the ligaments and muscles that support the vertebrae to stretch. This can pull the thoracic vertebrae out of their normal position, resulting in kyphosis.
Kyphosis alone is rarely disabling, unless it is severe. Generally, it's a combination of spinal conditions that help qualify you for disability benefits.
Exercise, combined with good posture and chiropractic care, may help improve your rounded upper back. A 2019 review of studies on the effects of exercise on kyphosis suggested that exercise may have positive effects on the angle of the thoracic kyphosis.
Treatment for postural kyphosis and Scheuermann's kyphosis may include regular X-rays to monitor the curve, physical therapy and, in some cases, a back brace. For congenital kyphosis (and severe Scheuermann's kyphosis), spinal fusion surgery can relieve pain and correct the curvature.
Most cases of kyphosis don't require treatment. Kyphosis caused by poor posture (postural kyphosis) can usually be corrected by improving your posture. If a child has kyphosis as a result of abnormally shaped vertebrae (Scheuermann's kyphosis), treatment depends on factors such as: the person's age.
If left untreated, kyphosis can become severe and cause significant spinal deformity. The goal of treating kyphosis is to prevent further curving and relieve symptoms, but it cannot be cured.
Poor posture in childhood, such as slouching, leaning back in chairs and carrying heavy schoolbags, can cause the ligaments and muscles that support the vertebrae to stretch. This can pull the thoracic vertebrae out of their normal position, resulting in kyphosis.
