👉 A kyphosis is a deformity of the spine that results from an abnormal position or curvature of the vertebrae. The kyphosis can be caused by a variety of factors, including birth defects, genetic disorders, and trauma to the body during childhood or adolescence. It can affect both the upper and lower parts of the spine, causing pain, discomfort, and mobility issues. Treatment for kyphosis may include physical therapy, medication, or surgery.
