Hyperkyphosis in Aging Adults
Hyperkyphosis, an exaggerated curvature of the thoracic spine, commonly affects older adults, often due to osteoporosis or degenerative disc disease. This condition can lead to chronic back pain, reduced mobility, and difficulty maintaining balance. Chiropractic care focuses on improving posture, reducing pain, and enhancing spinal flexibility through gentle adjustments and exercise programs. Consistent care helps patients maintain a more upright posture and reduce discomfort.
