Yes, a chiropractor can help with kyphosis. Kyphosis or hyperkyphosis refers to the forward rounding of the back. It has a variety of different causes and can occur at any age and in people of any gender. However, it is most common in older women. A chiropractor can help improve posture, reduce pain and restore spinal alignment. Chiropractic treatment for kyphosis usually involves manual manipulation of the spine and other soft tissues, as well as exercises to stretch and strengthen the affected muscles.
The chiropractor may also provide advice on lifestyle changes that can help improve posture and reduce the symptoms of kyphosis. In some cases, a chiropractor may recommend additional treatments, such as ultrasound or electrical stimulation, in order to reduce inflammation and improve flexibility. With proper treatment, a chiropractor at Spring Back Chiropractic can help to reduce the severity of kyphosis and restore normal spinal alignment.
