A member asked:
Is the spine deformation from osteoporosis reversible?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not naturally: The increase bedding or widows hump caused from osteoporosis is not naturally reversible. With acute fractures of the thoracic spine, at times a kyphoplasty may be performed to inject bone cement into to collapsed vertebra to build it back up, but long standing multi-level changes are not.

No: At 25 you should not have osteoporosis. But women with osteoporosis and scoliosis usually do not have strong enough bones to make a surgical correction back to a straight spine, unless the curve is very small. And in that case we would not rec surgery anyway.
