I am so sorry you have so many of these. I have three and then two years ago I started developing a lot of pain, because a chiropractor even though I showed him, my MRI took his hands and press down hard on my thoracic.. my spinal surgeon did kyphoplasty, but did tell me it would not do much to alleviate the pain at all, but would help stop more fractures, so yes, he is being honest .

This might help, I hope, I am having myofascial release massage and it’s making a difference, she is a PT and is using lasers as well. Find a PT that works with Kyphosis if you can.

Hope this help,

I have been going to a PT who does ultrasound and massage, for 8 months now. I am doing fine. I do not have bad kyphosis at all. I was told that kyphoplasty could cause more fractures. It is hard to know what to believe but whatever research I was able to do, supported my decision not to have them.
