Other secondary kyphosis - what does this mean
Other secondary kyphosis is a condition in which the spine curves abnormally due to an underlying medical condition such as scoliosis, osteoporosis, tumors, birth defects, or trauma. it can also be caused by prolonged periods of inactivity or poor posture. treatment typically involves physical therapy, bracing, and, in severe cases, surgery.
What happens during the disease - other secondary kyphosis
Other secondary kyphosis is a condition in which the spine abnormally curves in a forward direction, resulting in a hunched posture. it is caused by an underlying medical condition, such as ankylosing spondylitis, scheuermann's disease, or osteoporosis, which weakens the bones and ligaments of the spine, leading to a collapse of the vertebrae and a forward curvature of the spine. in some cases, the condition can be caused by an injury or trauma to the spine, or by the presence of a tumor. treatment is based on the underlying cause of the condition.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Obtain a full medical history and physical exam.
- Order imaging tests such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRI.
- Perform a neurological exam to assess nerve function.
- Order laboratory tests to rule out other diseases.
- Perform a spinal curvature evaluation.
- Evaluate for any underlying medical conditions.
- Refer to a specialist for further diagnosis.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the curvature of the spine and improve posture.
- Physiotherapy exercises to strengthen the muscles supporting the spine
- Bracing to help support the spine and reduce the curvature
- Manual therapy to help improve posture and reduce pain
- Medication to reduce inflammation and pain
- Surgery to correct the curvature of the spine
35 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Other secondary kyphosis - Prevention
Prevention of other secondary kyphosis involves avoiding activities that may cause injury to the spine, such as contact sports, and wearing a back brace when engaging in activities that may cause strain to the spine. additionally, maintaining good posture, engaging in regular exercise, and avoiding smoking can help to prevent the development of other secondary kyphosis.
