Postural Kyphosis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Postural kyphosis is an exaggerated curvature of the upper back that is associated with posture habits rather than a structural alteration of the vertebrae. It is usually seen as a rounded or hunched back.
Common causes: maintaining hunched postures for prolonged periods, weakness of the back muscles, and habits acquired during growth.
Frequent symptoms: the appearance of shoulders drooping forward, a feeling of tiredness in the back, and, at times, muscle discomfort.
Which specialist addresses it? The chiropractor and the general practitioner can assess posture and spinal mobility. When the curvature is noticeable or accompanied by pain, it is advisable to seek a professional evaluation to clarify the best path for your case.
