A member asked:

21 years old male i have kyphosis doctors said not to worry and the surgery is not necessary at all but i can't accept my shape any solution?

Kyphosis: It may be too late for a back brace to correct your kyphosis, but I would still recommend evaluation by a spine surgeon. Nonsurgical treatments like physical therapy and certain exercises may be worth trying before any surgical correction is recommended.
