Schroth Method For Kyphosis
Key Treatment Considerations for Kyphosis:
When kyphosis is suspected or diagnosed in children, earlier treatment is best.
At Balance your spine , we work with patients to reduce the asymmetric loading on the spinal joints during growth. This allows the spine to grow in a more normal physiological position, by decreasing anterior wedging and increasing flexibility to prevent progression and pain. Our non-surgical treatment is for those who prefer to try and improve quality of life and/or avoid surgery. Results are usually better for patients with more immature spines, as is the opportunity for some degree of improvement.
At Balance Your Spine, we approach kyphosis treatment using a combination of physical therapy, spinal exercises, and postural correction techniques. Depending on the patient’s unique needs, we develop personalized treatment plans that focus on improving spinal alignment, alleviating pain, and enhancing overall mobility. Our goal is to help each patient restore proper posture and maintain a healthy, active lifestyle.

Severity of Curvature: Mild cases of kyphosis may benefit from posture correction exercises, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications. More severe cases, however, may require bracing or surgical intervention to correct the curvature and prevent further progression.
Age and Growth Stage: In younger individuals, especially those still growing, early intervention is crucial. Treatment often involves targeted exercises designed to correct postural imbalances and prevent worsening of the curvature. In adults, treatment focuses on pain relief, improving spinal alignment, and maintaining mobility.
Accompanying Factors: If kyphosis is related to other medical conditions, such as osteoporosis, muscular dystrophy, or degenerative disc disease, additional treatments may be necessary to address the underlying health issues contributing to the spinal deformity.
