Kyphosis Correction Treatment:
Kyphosis correction treatment is one of the spinal deformity correction surgeries done by the experienced spine surgeon. The main aim of this surgery is to correct the deformity and hence improve the symptomatology and spine functionality.
The mild postural kyphosis deformity treatment rarely includes physical therapy to provide extra support to your back and abdominal muscles. This will reduce the pressure on the spine and improve its posture. Exercises form a main role in the management of postural kyphosis
Treatment options depend on the cause and severity of the kyphosis. Mild postural kyphosis can be treatable with the help of pain relievers and anti-inflammatories. In problems like Scheuermann’s disease and its further complications can be treated with the help of bracings and exercises. But in case of severe kyphosis problems, it needs spinal fusion surgery after correction of the spinal deformity
Surgical Treatment for Kyphosis:

- Surgery for kyphosis: There are different types of surgical fusions which include
- Spinal fusion after correction of deformity: It is a type of surgery that helps in fusing the two or more vertebrae with the help of screws and rods to eliminate the motion between them. This surgery helps in holding the positions of spinal bone and also eliminates the movement of vertebrae permanently.
- Osteotomy: In this surgical process, the bone is cut to eliminate the angular deformities. And the ends of the bone are realigned and allowed to heal.
- Kyphoplasty: It is a vertebral augmentation surgery to treat fractures in the vertebra. This surgery is also known as “balloon vertebroplasty”. During this surgery, the surgeon will make a small incision in the spinal area. By using a narrow tube, the surgeon will create a path through the back into fractured vertebrae.
The surgeon will insert a special balloon into the vertebrae through the tube under the guidance of x-ray images. After the balloon inflates, it elevates the fractures of the vertebra. This balloon helps in returning the fractured pieces to a normal position and closely packed the soft inner bone to create the vertebrae cavity. The balloon is removed, and now the surgeon will insert a material called PMMA (Polymethyl methacrylate) to stabilize the bone quickly.
