 My son was diagnosed with kyphosis two weeks ago. He is at a 82° angle. Has anyone had success with physical therapy? He also was fitted for a brace this week. He will have to wear it 20 hours a day for two years.     I am trying to find out more information about this.

    Hello, I had the surgery 1 year ago this month and I was 13 like your son , I had an 85 degree curve and I underwent spinal fusion, I think a brace could defiantly work but if you are looking at surgery as an option I would definitely recommend it.
