Kyphosis is the result of strained muscles/fasciae (in the sequence of importance) in abdomen, rib cage including pectoral muscles, neck flexors and upper back where the hump is. It has nothing to do with the vertebrae except for obvious fracture or defect. Therefore the only effective treatment is to loosen the tightened muscles by light touch, but never stretching or traction. It may take 3-4 hours to correct kyphosis. Surgery with insertion of rod in the spine is a terrible thing to do. Not only does it destruct normal bone structure into irreversible alteration, but also it severely affects daily life into disability by limiting movement/function of the spine. The same is applicable to scoliosis.

Chiropractic care. Through adjustments and rehab exercises Chiropractors have great success with kyphosis. At least I do.
