What are the symptoms of spinal curvature in babies?

The development of the baby is the most important, because only a healthy and developed baby can grow up safely. However, in modern life, more and more babies are experiencing various developmental abnormalities. Among them, there are more and more cases of spinal curvature in babies, which poses a great threat to their healthy growth. Let’s take a look at the symptoms of spinal curvature in infants. I hope everyone can understand.

For babies' spinal curvature, early prevention and early treatment are the key. Mothers can usually do some simple examinations on their children, such as touching the spinous processes of the spine with their hands to see if they are in a straight line, or asking the child to stand up straight and then bend forward to see if the back is symmetrical. If you find anything abnormal in your child, you should go to the hospital for examination immediately.

Symptoms of spinal curvature in babies:

1. Uneven shoulders, one shoulder is higher than the other;

2. Girls have asymmetrical breast development, with the left breast often being larger;

3. There is a bulge on one side of the back;

4. There are wrinkles on one side of the waist;

5. One hip is higher than the other;

6. The lower limbs on both sides are of unequal length.

What to do if your baby has a curved spine:

Generally speaking, when a child shows symptoms of spinal curvature, they should be treated promptly. If the child is young and has a soft spine, parents can also correct it in time through correction methods. If the child is older, surgery is the only option.

1. Swimming

You can take your baby swimming, especially freestyle and backstroke, which can effectively exercise your baby's waist and back muscles;

2. Horizontal bar stretch

Assist your baby to do horizontal bar stretching every day, which can also exercise the waist and back muscles. The side with the lower shoulder can be stretched more;

3. Swallow training

Let the baby lie prone on the bed, stretch both arms and legs straight and lift them up, with the abdomen close to the bed, and do this more than 20 times a day;

4. Abdominal massage

When bathing your baby, hold the baby's back with one hand and use the palm of the other hand to gently and steadily massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction. This can help the baby secrete growth hormone and make the bones develop more soundly.
