Kyphosis caused by a compression fracture?

ok, so two months ago,i broke two vertebrae in my thoracic spine. T7&T9 to be exact. i'm 14 years old. my Orthopedic doctor says that i have mild kyphosis that measures 44 degrees... and that really worries me. i am now wearing a TSLO back brace that i was put into on the second day at the hospital where i was taken care at.
but this whole kyphosis thing really worries me... i know that normal curvature of the spine is 20 to 45 degrees but im still really worried about how my life is gonna be later on when im out of the back brace.... so is there any cure to improve the apperance of my back without any surgery?

Your surgeon would be a good place to start asking these questions. However, there are some things you can do to help minimize and prevent future thoracic problems. Posture is probably the #1 problem. Sitting up tall in your seat (ideally if someone looked at you from the side, your ear, shoulder and hip would be in a straight vertical line), and avoiding slouching as much as possible will help. Also, some light strengthening exercises of the muscles of the thoracic spine and shoulders will help maintain the posture. Exercises like seated rows, bent over flys, pulldowns, etc. Also some stretching of the chest muscles will help as they tend to tighten up as you slouch forward. Again, these are merely suggestions and you should consult with your surgeon before you try anything.
