The human spine comprises bones called vertebrae that stack on top of each other, which helps the spine be flexible and supportive. Moreover, our spine is vulnerable to damage. In the following section, we will find some different types of kyphosis.

2. POSTURAL KYPHOSIS
Postural kyphosis is considered one of the most common
forms of kyphosis. It generally occurs in adolescence, when
the muscles around the spine develop differently due to a
postural imbalance like slouching.
It increases the forward curvature, stretching the spine's
extensor muscles and posterior ligaments. This condition is
also quite common in aged adults who have decreased
muscle strength.

3. SCHEUERMANN’S KYPHOSIS
Like postural kyphosis, this condition also tends to occur
during adolescence, but it can become quite worse. Moreover,
the exact causes of this condition are not known.

4. AGE-RELATED KYPHOSIS
This condition causes a curve in the spine that progressively
worsens in adulthood, often resulting from conditions that affect
the bones in the spine. Osteoporosis can be considered an
example as it causes the bones to lose density and become
weaker.

5. CONGENITAL KYPHOSIS
This type of kyphosis generally occurs when the spine does not
develop properly before birth, causing kyphosis. Moreover, it can
become severe with age.
