An Alternative, Non-Surgical Treatment for Pectus Carinatum (Pigeon Chest)
Pectus Carinatum, otherwise known as Pigeon Chest, is a chest wall deformity. The main symptoms of Pectus Carinatum deformities are psychological. Patients with this deformity will suffer with a lack of confidence, become reclusive and be reluctant to undress in public spaces.
In an effort to disguise the deformity physical symptoms may often develop, as the sufferers of this condition may push their shoulders forward, while arching their back in a forwards kyphotic position, which can become a permanent postural feature.
