  1. Types Of Kyphosis

  2. Postural Kyphosis Postural kyphosis is considered one of the most common forms of kyphosis. It generally occurs in adolescence, when the muscles around the spine develop differently due to a postural imbalance like slouching. It increases the forward curvature, stretching the spine's extensor muscles and posterior ligaments. This condition is also quite common in aged adults who have decreased muscle strength.

  3. Scheuermann’s Kyphosis Like postural kyphosis, this condition also tends to occur during adolescence, but it can become quite worse. Moreover, the exact causes of this condition are not known.

  4. Age-Related Kyphosis This condition causes a curve in the spine that progressively worsens in adulthood, often resulting from conditions that affect the bones in the spine. Osteoporosis can be considered an example as it causes the bones to lose density and become weaker.

  5. Congenital Kyphosis This type of kyphosis generally occurs when the spine does not develop properly before birth, causing kyphosis. Moreover, it can become severe with age.
