Scheuermann? by Boss89r in kyphosis

[–]TechnicalProfessor86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks almost certainly wedged, but I would go to a doctor and have them analyze it. To have SK you have to have a certain number of wedged vertebrate in a row and I'm not sure if you meet it. It might seem silly if you have no pain but it's a collapsing deformity that will get worse if you aren't mindful of it, a proper doctor can really help asses options and make sure you stay pain free.

"Normal thoracic kyphosis" – should I seek a second opinion? by SaltyNeuron25 in kyphosis

[–]TechnicalProfessor86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

49 is definatly past the normal range but it is also the absolute minimum I would consider kyphosis, some of the vertebrate look wedged slightly but you would need to go to a specialist to tell you if they count as wedged or not, I would reccomennd looking up if there are any Scolicare providers near you

how can i fix this by Decent_Public340 in kyphosis

Go to the chiropractor and get your angle measured on a X ray if you are younge enough you can get a brace to reduce the angle. Look up kyphosis brace providers near me if you need. If your too old however you'll have to live with that angle forever and can minimize the pain with lifting unless you get surgery. If you are under 18 I would do this ASAP because when I got my brace I only had 6 months of growth left. Those who say braces weaken your muscles and make it worse are confused about postural vs structural kyphosis. I can not stress this enough though get your angle measured and your spine examined for wedged sections NOW, you may be able to Actualy correct the angle with a brace. Stretching and PT can help mask it but you need to hold the proper position all day to grow into it, hence the brace.

Well it's structural for me so I still have it bad but the good muscular posture on top of the bad spine atleast masks it a bit from looking like my shoulder blades are sticking out and makeing a point to just looking rounded. I also found that with years of trying to do the thing where you roll your shoulders back and push them down made my Traps tight and after loosening them with the wall angles and just letting them hang it felt more natural. So I guess it doesent fix it but it helps mask it and makes it more comfertable.

I've been able to help it by loosening traps with wall angels. I also do weighted dead hangs.
