A member asked:

70 degrees kyphosis age 20 what's the normal angle? and can it be corrected without surgery ?

Kyphosis: An orthopedic specialist in spinal abnormalities is best qualified to evaluate and treat your kyphosis which sounds significant. He/she will advise you about braces and other treatment modalities.
