- Height loss exceeding 3 centimeters often indicates silent spinal fractures; these allow your spine to buckle forward even without noticeable pain
- Postural kyphosis from poor habits is fixable, while structural kyphosis from osteoporosis and vertebral fractures is harder to correct and more dangerous
