I'm 38. At 14 I was diagnosed with structural kyphosis (a hunched upper back). Bracing, I was told, was the only non-surgical form of treatment for ""structural"" - as opposed to ""postural"" - kyphosis. (Postural has the potential to reverse itself with chiropractic and physical therapy.) I never wore the brace that was prescribed. But I recently began an intense stretching program that relived an enormous level of upper back strain and I decided to compliment this regimen with chiropractic sessions. I was prompted by a friend who told me of remarkable progress he made with DR Shoshani regarding a similar condition.
