Thoracic Hyperkyphosis Treatment in Issaquah, WA

Spinal Alignment for Hyperkyphosis Relief

Understanding Thoracic Hyperkyphosis

Thoracic hyperkyphosis is a spinal condition characterized by an excessive outward curve of the thoracic vertebrae, leading to a pronounced hunching of the upper back. This condition can result from developmental issues, degenerative diseases, osteoporosis, or poor posture.

Common Causes of Thoracic Hyperkyphosis

• Osteoporosis: Weakening of the bones that can cause vertebral fractures and curvature of the spine.
• Degenerative Disc Disease: Wear and tear on the spinal discs can lead to a forward curvature of the spine.
• Poor Postural Habits: Long-term poor posture can contribute to the development of hyperkyphosis.
• Congenital Conditions: Some individuals are born with spinal deformities that evolve into hyperkyphosis.
