Kyphosis is a condition where there is an exaggerated, forward rounding of the upper back. Mild forms of this usually cause few physical problems, but severe forms of kyphosis can be painful and disfiguring. One type of kyphosis, called Scheuermann’s disease, is the most common, requiring attention of a medical professional.
And as Dr. Jamal McClendon Jr., a Mayo Clinic neurosurgeon, explains, surgery to correct the condition is usually the final option.
