Kyphosis can also occur as a result of spinal fractures or osteoarthritis of the spine.

Kyphosis symptoms would include:

  • Visible rounding of the back
  • Pain or numbness
  • Muscle fatigue or stiffness in the back
  • Loss of bowel or bladder control
  • Chest pain or shortness of breath

Causes:

  • Spinal Fracture
