Common Causes And Complications Of Kyphosis

Kyphosis is a common condition characterized by irregular rounding that occurs in the upper spine. While a small upper spine curve is normal, kyphosis is an excessive curve in the back that can result in various long-term issues throughout the body. This curve is not the same side to side curve seen in scoliosis patients. Instead, it is a curve that moves from back to front. Many individuals with kyphosis do not experience any symptoms. Others may experience tight hamstrings, upper back stiffness, and a rounded back.
