A hunchback, also called kyphosis, is a curving of the spine that causes a bowing or rounding of the back. It can occur at any age, though it is not usually ever evident at birth. It can be treated. Treatment depends on the cause of the disorder:

Congenital kyphosis requires corrective surgery at an early age.

Scheuermann's disease is treated with a brace and physical therapy. Occasionally surgery is needed for large (greater than 60 degrees), painful curves.

Multiple compression fractures from osteoporosis can be left alone if there are no nervous system problems or pain. However, the osteoporosis needs to be treated to help prevent future fractures. For debilitating deformity or pain, surgery is an option.

Kyphosis caused by infection or tumor needs to be treated more aggressively, often with surgery and medications.

Treatment for other types of kyphosis depends on the cause. Surgery may be necessary if neurological symptoms or persistent pain develop.
