If you’re serious about getting results, then I recommend taking the quiz to find out what your perfect program is: Surgery is only recommended for more severe cases of kyphosis, where it's felt the potential benefits of surgery outweigh the risks.

Other than possible pain, kyphosis — except for the congenital variety — rarely produces harmful effects on the important organs and structures inside the body. Treatment is therefore based on the symptoms a person may be experiencing. For example, for those complaining of pain, exercises to strengthen the core muscles and pain-relieving medications are used. For those concerned with how the curvature appears, bracing or postural exercises may be used. While they’re not a magic wand for taking you from Neanderthal to ballerina, posture correctors *can* help you find your best posture and make you more aware of how you’re sitting and standing day to day when used in tandem with a strengthening program, and for a limited amount of time. “The real benefit of these devices is that they bring your awareness to your posture and that alone can reduce pain and increase confidence,” says Dr. Neel Anand, MD, a professor of orthopedic surgery and the director of spine trauma at Cedars-Sinai Spine Center in Los Angeles. I’ve created a quiz that will give you a specific individualized program recommendation based on what you’re trying to achieve.A normal thoracic kyphotic curve measures between 20 and 40 degrees. It’s considered to be abnormal when greater than 40 degrees. Congenital Kyphosis: This type of kyphosis is a developmental defect which occurs when the foetus is in the womb. The spinal column does not develop properly resulting in abnormal curvature of the spine. Finally, we spoke to a number of experts who told us the most important qualities of a good posture corrector, as well as how they should be used. These professionals included: With these structural conditions – there will likely be a limit as to how much we can affect the shape of the spine.)

So we've had mixed results with posture correctors," says Peter G. Passias, MD, FAAOS, an orthopedic spine specialist at the New York Spine Institute who's worked with patients on finding them the best support. Posture correctors are best for correcting postural kyphosis in adults between 20 and 60 years of age, and they're ideal for kyphosis self-care when the thoracic spinal curve is under 60 degrees.

Look for a posture corrector that is comfortable," he adds. "If you aren't comfortable wearing the posture corrector, then you won't keep wearing it." Occasionally, people with kyphosis can have difficulties when the nerves running through the spine become compressed or pinched. This can disrupt nerve signals and cause symptoms such as: Today, everything is digital, so why not have a device that connects to an app on your phone? While it isn’t the traditional brace, a smart model provides constant reminders to sit up straight, raising your awareness so you can make adjustments and strengthen your muscles. Are you sitting or standing most of the day? I've just explained that rounded shoulders are caused by a combination of weak (cause #1) and overly-tight (cause #2) muscles. Therefore, it makes sense that you should perform a mix of strengthening and mobility exercises to counter-act their problematic pulls.

Problems going from seated to standing. Difficulty getting up from a chair or sitting down is a common example of impaired function, Kado says. You'll need to wear the brace until the spine stops growing, which is usually around 14 or 15 years old.One tip I use is to think about someone pulling your body up with a string: everything should be aligned.
