Pain Management Strategies for Individuals with Scheuermann's Disease: Urban Sports & Rehab Centre’s Approach

Scheuermann's Disease, also known as Scheuermann's kyphosis, is a spinal condition characterized by excessive curvature in the thoracic region, leading to postural issues and chronic pain. Individuals with this condition often experience stiffness, discomfort, and reduced mobility. At Urban Sports & Rehab Centre, we offer specialized physiotherapy techniques to address these challenges and improve overall quality of life.
Understanding Scheuermann’s Disease
Causes:
The exact cause of Scheuermann’s disease is not fully understood, but several factors may contribute to its development:
- Genetics: A family history of the condition can increase the likelihood of developing Scheuermann's disease.
- Growth Plate Abnormalities: Abnormalities in the growth plates during adolescence can lead to the wedge-shaped vertebrae characteristic of this condition.
- Postural Stress: Poor posture during growth periods may contribute to the development of kyphosis.
Signs and Symptoms:
Individuals with Scheuermann's disease may experience the following signs and symptoms:

Excessive Thoracic Kyphosis:
- An abnormal forward curvature of the spine that can be visibly apparent, giving the back a rounded appearance.
- This curvature can create an imbalance in muscle distribution, leading to tightness in the chest and weakness in the upper back muscles.
- Individuals may struggle with maintaining an upright position, resulting in fatigue and discomfort during prolonged sitting or standing
- Chronic pain that can range from mild to severe, often worsening with activity.
- Limited spinal mobility, especially in the thoracic region.
- Weakness in the back muscles due to compensatory mechanisms.
- A noticeable hump in the upper back.
