Kyphosis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Kyphosis is an increased curvature of the upper part of the spine, which gives the back a more rounded or hunched appearance than usual.
Common causes: It can be due to poor postures maintained over time, abnormalities in the development of the vertebrae, or changes in the spine over the course of life.
Common symptoms: A hunched posture is usually noticed, and in some cases stiffness, fatigue, or discomfort in the back, especially after staying in the same position for a long time.
Who evaluates it? When the curvature is marked or causes symptoms, the neurosurgeon may be involved in the evaluation of the spine. With visible changes in posture or persistent back pain, it is worth seeing a professional for evaluation.
