Here’s when to see a doctor and how you can reduce your riskAs we age, it’s common to notice posture changes: shoulders rounding, head leaning forward, back starting to curve. You might associate this with older adults and wonder: will this happen to me? Can I prevent it? It’s sometimes called “hunchback” or “roundback”, but the medical term for a curved back is kyphosis. When the curve is beyond what’s considered normal (greater than 40 degrees), we refer to this as hyperkyphosis.
