What is Kyphosis?

Causes
Several different causes can result in kyphosis. It may be caused by osteoporosis. This is a loss of bone density. It makes your bones weak and brittle. It can allow your vertebrae to fracture and compress. Kyphosis is also caused by degeneration of your spinal discs. It can be caused by cancer. And it can be caused by birth defects, diseases and syndromes that affect the spine.Potential Treatments
Treatment options include medications and exercise. Increasing your calcium intake can help strengthen your bones. You may benefit from a brace. Some people also benefit from surgery to straighten and stabilize the spine. Your healthcare provider can create a care plan that is right for your needs.Testimonials
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Crane! He help me identify my pain and then strategize how I could improve my situation through exercise. It worked. It’s not often you meet a doctor that helps you help yourself and Dr. Crane was that kind of doctor. He is patient, focused, and trustworthy.

Dr. Crane is awesome! He has a fabulous staff and he has a great bedside manner. I have sent some of my friends to him for their spine issues and they have been pleased with his work also. Highly recommend Dr. CRANE!!

Dr Crane fused my back in 2016. No problem with my surgery but I was still in pain. He took the time and energy to find my problem. Which was a broken replacement hip. Got me to a wonderful doctor. Talked to the hip doctor and got me ready for another surgery. He went far beyond his duty to keep me from any pain. To me he is the perfect doctor. 5 years pain free
