Kyphosis is:
a) Curving of the spine causing a hunchback.
Kyphosis is a condition where the spine curves forward, causing a rounded or hunched back appearance. This curvature can range from mild to severe and is often associated with poor posture, osteoporosis, or structural issues in the spine. It can lead to discomfort, back pain, and in severe cases, difficulties with breathing or other organ functions. Treatment may involve physical therapy, exercises, bracing, or in some cases, surgery depending on the severity of the curvature.
