Spinal Kyphosis is a condition that affects primarily the mid to upper back areas of the spine. This “stooping” or rounding of the back and shoulders – and the resulting pain and discomfort – can be attributed to a number of causes such as poor posture, poor self-esteem, childhood abuse, and accidents. It can also arise in patients who spend most of their time hunched over a desk or computer all day every day.

Chiropractic adjustments, emotional support, changes in diet, and back exercises involving the mid and upper trapezius muscles are the best ways to reverse the effects of kyphosis, built back strength, reduce pain and correct poor posture.

Dr. Spine chiropractors are trained to recognize all aspects of poor posture and correct the causes of spinal subluxation, or spinal misalignments that cause nerve interference and pain.
