Kyphosis is a spinal disorder where the upper spine is bent in a front-to-back plane in an outward position. In simple terms, it is known as hunchback. Poor body posture, carrying heavy backpacks, and aging can cause kyphosis. Older women are predisposed to this condition. It can be associated with back pain and stiffness.
