How can I prevent cervical kyphosis?
In many cases, you can't prevent cervical kyphosis. If you have a condition like ankylosing spondylitis or degenerative disc disease, talk to your healthcare provider about physical therapy and appropriate exercise. Regular physical activity can reduce pain, increase strength and flexibility, and help prevent further deterioration of your spine. The avoidance of excessively large pillows can minimize flexion when in the supine position (lying on back) during sleep.
