Kyphosis is curvature in the antero-posterior direction, usually in the thoracic region. There is a problem with ossification of the anterior portion of the vertebral body (Scheuermann kyphosis). Back pain is common and worse when standing. Bracing is usually succesful controlling the curvature. Minor degrees of kyphosis may occur in adolescent girls that can be corrected by improving their posture. Lordosis occurs in the lumbar region and tends not to be a major problem.
