The condition is sometimes known as &#8220;roundback\" or\u2014in the case of a severe curve\u2014as &#8220;hunchback.\" Kyphosis can occur at any age, but is common during adolescence.<\/p>\n<p>In the majority of cases, kyphosis causes few problems and does not require treatment. Occasionally, a patient may need to wear a back brace or do exercises in order to improve his or her posture and strengthen the spine.<\/p>\n<h5><em>Postural Kyphosis<\/em><\/h5>\n<p>Postural kyphosis, the most common type of kyphosis, usually becomes noticeable during adolescence. It is noticed clinically as poor posture or slouching, but is not associated with severe structural abnormalities of the spine.The curve caused by postural kyphosis is typically round and smooth and can often be corrected by the patient when he or she is asked to &#8220;stand up straight.\"Postural kyphosis is more common in girls than boys. It is rarely painful and, because the curve does not progress, it does not usually lead to problems in adult life.<\/p>\n<p>Specific exercises can help relieve back pain and improve posture by strengthening muscles in the abdomen and back. Certain exercises can also help stretch tight hamstrings and strengthen areas of the body that may be impacted by misalignment of the spine.<\/p>\n<p>Chiropractic adjustment on spine and using modality to relax the muscle and advise patient to do stretching and strengthening exercise always can help to maintain a good posture and avoiding roundback.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":16965,"parent":1679,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"Page with Blog Content Bottom Widget.php","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-16939","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.excelmedicalgroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.excelmedicalgroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.excelmedicalgroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.excelmedicalgroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.excelmedicalgroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16939"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.excelmedicalgroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16939\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16945,"href":"https:\/\/www.excelmedicalgroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16939\/revisions\/16945"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.excelmedicalgroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1679"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.excelmedicalgroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16965"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.excelmedicalgroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
