Diagnosing Kyphosis: Our Comprehensive Approach to Spinal Health

While many people wait until a spinal curve becomes severe or painful to seek medical attention, it is important to reach out for help when you first notice changes in your posture or related discomfort. Whether your upper back is just beginning to look more rounded or you have been dealing with the effects of Kyphosis for a while, we recommend scheduling a consultation at MVM Health.

During this initial consultation, you’ll meet with one of our spine specialists, who will evaluate your condition through a thorough physical exam to assess your posture and the degree of the spinal curve. This will likely be followed by imaging tests, like an X-ray, to get a precise measurement of the curvature. Based on these results, our team can identify the severity of your Kyphosis and develop a personalized treatment plan to help you improve your posture, manage pain, and enjoy your fullest possible quality of life once more.

How Can Interventional Pain Management Help with Kyphosis?

While we may think of Kyphosis as a single postural issue, it’s important to realize that the associated pain can stem from numerous factors.

By understanding the specific cause of your discomfort—whether it’s from chronic muscle strain, stressed spinal joints, or nerve irritation—our specialists at MVM Health can treat the issue more effectively and help you actively begin the healing process. We offer a number of interventional pain management options that can help relieve discomfort from the following issues associated with Kyphosis:

Chronic Upper and Mid-Back Pain
Painful Muscle Fatigue and Spasms
Nerve Root Irritation (Radiculopathy)

Stressed Spinal Joints (Facet Syndrome)
Compensatory Lower Back Pain
Stiffness and Reduced Spinal Mobility

Advanced Treatment Options for Kyphosis

Relief & Posture Improvement

It used to be that treatment for Kyphosis, whatever the root cause, was limited to observation, bracing, or major corrective surgery. The advent of modern spinal care and interventional pain management, however, means you have more options to proactively manage the condition and find significant relief from its symptoms.

Whether your spinal curvature is a chronic issue or has recently become painful, you can trust our team at MVM Health to improve your quality of life through minimally invasive therapies. For many patients, this involves a multidisciplinary approach, which may combine rehabilitative care to improve posture with advanced treatments like interventional injections or nerve blocks to address pain at its source.

Interventional Options for Pain Associated with Kyphosis

Once we’ve determined the specific factors contributing to your Kyphosis-related pain, such as muscle strain or joint stress, our team will help you explore the many treatment options available, recommending a care plan that will help you enjoy the most ideal possible results.

It is important to understand that while interventional pain management does not reverse the spinal curve of Kyphosis, it can significantly reduce the associated chronic pain. During your consultation at MVM Health, our specialists will help develop a treatment plan that is right for you.

Your personalized plan may include treatments such as:

Facet Joint Injections: To treat pain from the small spinal joints stressed by the abnormal curvature.
Epidural Steroid Injections: To reduce inflammation around spinal nerves that may be irritated.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): To provide long-lasting relief from arthritic facet joint pain.
Trigger Point Injections: To release painful muscle knots and spasms caused by postural imbalance.
Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS): An advanced option for managing severe, chronic nerve-related pain.

Regenerative Therapy Options for Kyphosis

One of the advanced treatment options offered at MVM Health is regenerative therapy. For kyphosis, this treatment uses stem cell therapy or PRP therapy to help promote repairs within the strained soft tissues and spinal joints affected by the curvature. These outpatient treatments contain high volumes of growth factors that activate healing and reduce inflammation. Some patients choose to combine regenerative options with interventional pain management, while others may follow their initial pain treatments with regenerative therapy to support long-term tissue health and recovery.

Is There a Recovery Period After Interventional Treatment for Kyphosis?

A key benefit of interventional pain management is that these treatments are non-surgical, meaning they require little to no downtime and leave no scars. Patients may experience mild bruising or soreness at the injection site on their back, but these side effects should typically dissipate within a few days.

Pain and poor posture from Kyphosis don’t have to keep you from living your best life anymore. When you visit MVM Health, you work alongside a team of highly experienced spine specialists who will utilize advanced techniques to manage your discomfort and help you find lasting relief.
