Pectus Carinatum is a chest wall deformity often associated with physical signs and symptoms such as chest pain or discomfort—particularly when lying prone—exercise intolerance, scoliosis, slumped shoulders, kyphotic posture, and more.

However, it is consistently linked to significant psychological distress.

While surgical correction was once the only solution, non-surgical approaches, such as custom-made bracing, are now available. This shift occurred as the medical community recognized that the chest wall is not entirely rigid, but rather flexible and adaptable to change.
