Curvature of the spine is also known as kyphosis, and is a deformity of the vertebrae of the spine. Symptoms of curvature of the spine may include pain, rounded back posture, fatigue, and possibly problems with breathing. The affects of kyphosis depend upon the severity of the spinal deformity, as the most severe case of curvature of the spine could result in severe pain or even death. Treatment options for individuals with curvature of the spine include the use of anti-inflammatory medications, possibly an orthopedic brace, or even surgical intervention to either correct or at the very least stop the progression of the condition.
Can you win social security disability or SSI disability benefits on the basis of Curvature of the spine ?
Answer: The Social Security Administration's disability evaluation system does not focus on a claimant's diagnosis, but, rather, on the functional limitations a claimant has. In other words, the name of the condition is not the chief consideration. How the condition "affects and limits: the indiviual is the primary concern. So, yes, disability benefits can be won on the basis of nearly any condition provided that the condition is sufficiently limiting.
