Question 6

what will improve kyphosis of the spine?

Accepted Answer

Kyphosis: Most often, kyphosis only worsens as time goes on... due to gravity and the aging process of 'drying-up' of the discs. The anterior part of the spine gets shorter and the body leans more forward. Good posture and active strengthening of the posterior (back) muslces can keep you more upright... Really changing the kyphosis angle is almost impossible without surgery though...

Accepted Answer

Yes: If one is suffering from intractable pain or neurologic deficit, one can have surgery to correct abnormal curvature.  Minimally invasive techniques have made these procedures safer, but spine surgery is still a major endeavor.  There is a normal amount of lordosis in the neck and back, and kyphosis in the thoracic spine to provide sagittal balance, or overall balance to the entire spinal column.
