Dr Ankur Gupta - Ortho & Spine Clinic

Kyphosis is an increased forward curvature of the upper spine that can cause a rounded or hunched appearance. It may develop due to posture, changes in the spine with age, differences in spinal development, or certain underlying conditions. Some people with kyphosis have no symptoms, while others may experience back pain, stiffness, fatigue, or difficulty maintaining an upright posture. In more pronounced cases, movement and daily activities may be affected. An orthopaedic evaluation can help determine the cause and severity of kyphosis. Depending on individual needs, assessment may include a physical examination and imaging tests. Treatment varies and may involve posture and strengthening exercises, physiotherapy, pain management, monitoring, or other medical treatment. Surgery is considered only in selected cases. Maintaining regular physical activity, good posture, and appropriate muscle strength can support spinal health, but persistent pain or noticeable changes in posture should be professionally assessed.
