Possible causes of hyperkyphosis include...
SCHEUERMANN'S DISEASE: This is a condition where the vertebrae (the small bones that make up your spine) develop into a wedge shape.
BAD POSTURE: Forward head position (FHP) can put excessive pressure on your spine, sometimes resulting in hyperkyphosis.
Unfortunately, our increasingly sedentary lifestyles - and our tendency to sit hunched over our laptops and smartphones for prolonged periods - are making postural problems increasingly common.

@@jozkomrkvicka6877 oh they will but they say Inhave this due to having large breast. So have a reduction of those first and then they might consider the spinal surgery. In my mind i dont want to have surgery for issues that do not correrlate to my back. I had scherrmanns disease before i had breasts so 🤷‍♀️
