Scheuermann’s Kyphosis

Scheuermann's kyphosis is a spinal disorder characterized by an abnormal forward curvature of the upper back, resulting in a rounded or hunched appearance. Unlike other forms of kyphosis, Scheuermann's typically manifests during adolescence, with onset occurring between the ages of 12 and 16. The condition is often considered a developmental disorder, as it involves the improper growth of vertebrae, specifically the anterior wedging of at least three adjacent vertebrae. This wedge-shaped deformity contributes to an exaggerated forward curvature. Individuals with Scheuermann's kyphosis may experience back pain and stiffness, which can be exacerbated by prolonged periods of standing or sitting. While the exact cause remains unclear, genetic and hereditary factors may play a role. Treatment options for Scheuermann's kyphosis include physical therapy, exercises to improve posture, and in some cases, bracing. Surgical intervention may be considered in severe cases or when conservative measures prove ineffective, involving spinal fusion to correct the abnormal curvature. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are essential for optimizing outcomes and addressing symptoms associated with Scheuermann's kyphosis. Consulting with a healthcare professional, particularly an orthopedic specialist, is recommended for a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment plan.
