Excessive outward curvature of the spine leading to pain or a hunchback appearance.
Kyphosis is a condition where the spine curves excessively outward, often in the upper back, leading to a hunchback appearance. It can cause pain, stiffness, or breathing difficulties in severe cases. While some curvature is normal, abnormal kyphosis may result from developmental issues, degenerative changes, or trauma. Treatment focuses on correcting posture, relieving pain, and preventing progression.
If you notice a visible hump, persistent back pain, or breathing difficulties, consult a specialist. Early evaluation is important, especially in adolescents or those with progressive symptoms. Immediate care is advised if kyphosis causes significant discomfort or impacts lung function, indicating a need for prompt intervention.
