Our world-renowned spine surgeons in NYC are experts in kyphosis assessment and treatment. At Spine Associates, we begin with a comprehensive evaluation — including physical examination and advanced imaging — to determine the specific nature and severity of your kyphosis. This individualized approach ensures you receive the most appropriate treatment plan for your needs.
What is Kyphosis? Kyphosis is an excessive forward bending of the spine that gives the upper back a rounded or “hunched” appearance. While a mild thoracic curve is a normal part of human anatomy, kyphosis refers to a curvature that exceeds the normal range and may cause discomfort, stiffness, breathing difficulties, or pain. Structural causes can include developmental conditions like Scheuermann’s disease, age-related degeneration, osteoporosis, or traumatic injury.
Most of the time, kyphosis doesn’t cause any health problems or need medical treatment. But it may make you feel self-conscious about how you look.
Advanced Treatment Options in NYC
Treatment for kyphosis varies based on the type and severity of the curvature and your symptoms. At our Manhattan practice, we offer:
· Conservative care such as physical therapy, bracing, and pain management strategies
· Minimally invasive interventions when appropriate
· Expert surgical correction by board-certified spine surgeons when conservative treatment is insufficient
· For severe or progressive kyphosis, surgical intervention may be the best option to restore alignment, improve posture, and relieve pain. Our NYC spine surgeons have extensive experience with kyphosis surgery and spinal fusion techniques when indicated.
