How is Kyphosis of the Spine prevented?

  • Exercise
  • Bracing
  • Avoid slouching
  • Using orthopedic equipment while using a computer
  • Using well-made bags that uniformly distribute the weight along the back

What is the treatment for Kyphosis of the Spine?

The treatment for this condition is dependent on the severity and type of curve. Some of the treatment strategies are:

  • Pain relievers: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are recommended to help in reducing the discomfort associated with this condition.
  • Physical Therapy: It is recommended to relieve the pressure on the spine, improving posture, and reducing the discomfort to the patient. It also helps in strengthening the back and abdominal muscles. Some of these exercises are knee rolls, pelvic tilting, and knees to chest exercise.
  • Braces: Doctors usually recommend using braces when the spine is still growing to support its growth in the right direction.
  • Surgery: Surgery is recommended for patients when the nonsurgical techniques prove to be ineffective. Spinal fusion is a type of surgery in which several vertebrae are welded together to initiate the formation of a single bone. Other surgical procedures for this condition include inserting metal screws, rods, and plates in the spine to stabilize the spine and enhance the rate of fusion of bone grafting. It also results in the reduction of the curvature in the upper back.
