Kyphosis
Kyphosis is an excessive curvature of the spine in the thoracic region that gives the upper back a rounded or hunched appearance. It can appear at different stages of life and to different degrees.
Common symptoms:
- Visibly hunched upper back.
- Stiffness or discomfort in the thoracic area.
- Fatigue when maintaining an upright posture.
When to see the doctor? It is wise to seek care when the curvature becomes more pronounced, causes pain that does not subside, or limits daily activities.
Which specialist treats it? The orthopedic surgeon evaluates the spine, while the physical therapist and the specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation can support postural management. The most sensible thing is to discuss the situation with a professional who examines the case and proposes the appropriate follow-up.
