Scheuermann Disease
Scheuermann's disease is a disorder in the growth of the vertebrae that causes an increased curvature of the back, with a hump more marked than usual. It usually appears during adolescence.
Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist or pediatric orthopedist evaluates the spine, and in some cases the rheumatologist takes part when there are associated joint problems.
Common symptoms: a stooped posture that does not correct when straightening up, stiffness of the back, and, at times, pain in the upper back area after activity.
When to seek care? If a striking curvature of the back is noticed in a teenager or there is persistent discomfort, a check-up is advisable. Discussing these changes with a professional helps in understanding the health of the spine and guiding follow-up.
