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.

Chiropractic BioPhysics® Approach

Chiropractic BioPhysics® combines traditional chiropractic care with precision exercises and spinal remodeling techniques to create highly effective treatment plans for conditions like thoracic hyperkyphosis.

CBP® Techniques for Hyperkyphosis

  • Spinal Adjustment: Correcting spinal alignment to reduce the excessive curvature of the thoracic spine.
  • Rehabilitative Exercises: Specific exercises designed to strengthen the muscles that support proper posture and spinal alignment.
