Kyphosis is one of the most commonly missed spinal conditions we see, and a front-to-back X-ray alone will not catch it.
Unlike scoliosis, kyphosis is a curve that shows up from the side. It can look like a mild scoliosis on a standard X-ray, come back relatively normal, and get a "let's keep an eye on it" when what is actually needed is a side view as well. Sometimes there is no pain at all, just a subtle shift in posture that is easy to miss.
If you have noticed a change in posture or a hunched appearance that has not been fully explained, kyphosis could be worth exploring. Give us a call at 701 223 8413 or visit our website to find out more.
