Kyphosis of the Spine

What is Kyphosis of the Spine?

Kyphosis of the Spine is a condition in which the spine of the upper back is abnormally curved outwards. This condition is more commonly known as a hunchback, or round back. Even though this condition can occur at any age, it is most common during puberty. In most cases, this condition may not present physical symptoms other than an exaggerated disfiguration or excessive rounding of the back.
