When the scoliosis child finishes reading, he sits right at once!

What is scoliosis? It is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine. If the shoulders are unequal or the back is uneven, the scoliosis should be suspected.

Scoliosis can affect the growth and development of infants and adolescents, making the body deformed. Serious scoliosis can affect cardiopulmonary function, even involve the spinal cord, resulting in paralysis.

▌Children's chest is wider and wider, but their vital capacity is smaller and smaller; their stature is higher and higher, but they run slower and slower; their weight is bigger and bigger, but their strength is smaller and smaller; their intellectual development is more and more, and their physical sensitivity is weaker and weaker... That's the reality.

Today, the living standard is getting better and better. Why is the physical quality of children getting worse and worse?

Nowadays, there are more and more students with myopia, obesity and spinal deformity. I used to lead a long-distance running, spring outing, football matches... Because there are too many cases of fainting and sudden death in the news, schools are always afraid of such accidents. These activities have been cancelled. The less exercise children do, the worse their health will be.

▌Especially, due to the length of study and no exercise habits, the incidence of scoliosis among adolescents in China has reached 3%. Among them, adolescents aged 10-15 are the most common.

There are about 1 million more patients in China every year, and there are about 10 million adolescents with scoliosis in China. Scoliosis has become one of the three major problems in the growth of adolescents after myopia and mental health.

▌ Scoliosis most often occurs in adolescents aged 6-14, because adolescents are growing rapidly. At this time, adolescents with scoliosis are mostly asymptomatic and easily neglected by their parents.

When the child has obvious deformities, curvature of the spine, asymmetrical ridge of the back and "razor back" appear, the shape of the child has been significantly affected.

▌ If your child is over 4 years old, please spend one minute a year for scoliosis screening. The screening method is simple and can be divided into the following six steps, as shown in the following figure:

▌ Operation methods: 1. Shoulders are equal height; 2. Shoulder protrusion; 3. Shoulder protrusion; 3. Shoulder protrusion; 4. Back protrusion asymmetry; 5. Lumbar protrusion asymmetry; 6. Use middle finger and index finger to clip under the spine protrusion to see if it is straight line.

If one of them is abnormal, indicating the possibility of scoliosis, need to go to the hospital for further examination. It should be noted that the first, second and third steps need to let the child stand barefoot, the parents stand behind the observation; the fourth, fifth and sixth steps need to let the child bend down, feet droop naturally.

For children of different stages, to prevent this happening, we should consider a few points.

▌For infants born within 6 months, the recommended sitting time should not be too long. Because of the baby's soft bones, lack of strength in back muscles and lack of support, sitting must be very uncomfortable. It may cause humpback or scoliosis and affect the development of visceral organs.

▌After the baby's cervical vertebra is bent, that is, about one and a half years old, parents can consider choosing a suitable pillow for the baby. Before the baby learns to sit down, giving the baby a pillow will only backfire and make him sleep more uncomfortable.

▌Pay attention to bad habits such as backpack, which affect vertebral development. Some children like to carry a backpack on one shoulder. In the long run, scoliosis is particularly prone to occur, resulting in different shoulder height.

In addition, if the backpack is too heavy on both shoulders, the neck will unconsciously tilt forward, which can lead to scoliosis, hunchback, lumbar muscle strain, shoulder height and other diseases for a long time. We recommend that the weight of the schoolbag should not exceed 15% of the body weight.

▌Another point is that spine problems have a lot to do with sitting habits. Finally, I want to share a video about spinal surgery.

If you look at it for yourself, you will know how horrible it is to have a problem with your spine. After watching it with the children, I dare say: the children no longer dare Ge You lie down!
