Are you concerned about a visible hunch in your upper back? Do you feel rounded shouders, stiffness, or fatigue when sitting or standing for long periods? You may be dealing with kyphosis, a common postural distortion that can significantly impact your health, appearance, and comfort.
At Be Amazing Chiropractic in Mayfield West, Newcastle, we help patients of all ages address kyphotic posture and reclaim a stronger, more upright posture using advanced chiropractic care, posture rehabilitation, and neurologically focused treatments.
Kyphosis refers to an excessive forward curvature of the thoracic spine (upper back), often creating a "hump" or rounded appearance in the upper back or neck area. While a slight kyphotic curve is normal, when the curvature becomes too pronounced—typically beyond 40–45 degrees—it can lead to postural strain, muscular imbalance, and even breathing or digestive issues.
Kyphosis may be:
Postural Kyphosis – Most common and caused by poor posture habits, especially in young adults and office workers
Scheuermann’s Kyphosis – A structural deformity often seen in adolescents
Congenital Kyphosis – A rare spinal malformation present at birth
Degenerative Kyphosis – Caused by age-related spinal degeneration, disc wear, or osteoporosis
Some people with kyphosis may not even realize their posture is abnormal until pain, fatigue, or visible curvature begins to interfere with daily life. Common symptoms include:
Rounded or hunched shoulders
Tight chest muscles and weak upper back muscles
Stiffness or reduced spinal flexibility
Shallow breathing due to compressed chest cavity
Digestive discomfort from abdominal compression
Kyphosis rarely appears alone. One of its most frequent companions is forward head posture (FHP).
In forward head posture, the head protrudes in front of the shoulders, adding up to 5kg of strain per inch of deviation. This not only increases the upper back curve but places constant tension on neck muscles, spinal joints, and the nervous system.
Together, kyphosis and FHP contribute to a domino effect:
Muscle imbalances in the neck and shoulders
Weakened postural stabilizers in the upper spine
Restricted spinal motion and joint degeneration
Our posture correction protocols assess both conditions together to ensure lasting results.
At Be Amazing Chiropractic, our kyphosis treatment is tailored to the individual. We focus on correcting the underlying structural and neurological imbalances, not just masking the symptoms.
Your care may include:
Specific chiropractic adjustments to mobilize stiff joints and reduce nervous system interference
Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) for structural realignment using spinal modeling, traction, and mirror-image postural corrections
Neurological rehabilitation using Quantum Neurology to reactivate weak muscle and nerve pathways
MyoVision digital scanning to track postural progress
Posture education and lifestyle guidance
We use modern posture imaging tools to assess:
Thoracic curve angles
Head position relative to shoulders
Pelvic tilt and compensatory lower back strain
By identifying the origin of the imbalance, we can create a program designed to restore function and stability across your entire spine.
