Kyphosis Introduction
Kyphosis is also known as hunchback or round back. It refers to the excessive forward curvature of the spine or backbone, resulting in an abnormal bend visible from the side profile. It can occur at any age, though commonly seen in adolescents, making individuals appear as if they are slouching. The spine typically has 4 types of curvatures, serving important functions for posture, balance, and shock absorption & distribution. An excessive slant disrupts posture and can lead to health complications. In most cases, kyphosis is mild, causing only aesthetic concerns.
