Thoracic kyphosis is diagnosed through a physical examination, patient history, and imaging tests like X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to assess the curve's degree and determine its cause.
Surgery is not always necessary for thoracic kyphosis. It's typically reserved for severe cases where the curve is causing pain, breathing difficulties, or progressing rapidly. Non-surgical treatments like physical therapy or bracing might be recommended for milder cases.
