The best time to correct children's hunchback, experts will tell you

Every parent hopes that their children will grow up healthy, but some children are unfortunately born with hunchbacks when they are young. The good news is that the child’s bones are not fully developed at this time, so it is relatively easy to correct the hunchback.

1. The best time to correct children's hunchback

The best time to correct kyphosis in children is between 5 and 12 years old. Reason: Children aged 5-12 are most likely to have hunchbacks. Paying attention during this period can effectively prevent hunchbacks. By the time they reach high school, it will be difficult to correct the habit once it has been formed. Recommendation: If you have symptoms of postural kyphosis, you should correct it as soon as possible. If you have hunchback for a short period of time and there are no obvious pathological changes in your spine, you just need to pay attention to the correct posture and correct it in time. It is not recommended that parents buy the common orthotic devices on the market to correct "hunchback" for their children. Do not believe in advertisements. Although such orthotics can help children maintain a normal posture in the short term, in the long run, excessive support from long-term wearing of orthotics will cause degeneration of the children's waist and back muscles, and abnormal posture and pain symptoms will be further aggravated.

2. How to do hunchback correction exercises for children

1. Crawling exercise: Put your hands and toes on the ground and crawl on the ground like a baby. The distance increases from short to long, and the speed increases from slow to fast. You can crawl in a straight line or in a circle. To prevent the handles from being worn out, you can wear gloves. Climb twice a day, each time for 10 to 15 minutes.

2. Rolling exercise: Lie down straight and roll on the bed twice a day, each time for 5 minutes. To avoid dizziness, do not go too fast.

3. Tai Chi Tai Chi requires that the waist be used as the axis to drive the limbs, so that the waist always remains in a natural, comfortable and upright state, which has a good corrective effect on hunchback.

4. Stand naturally with your chest up and your body turned. Put your hands on your hips, head up and chest out. Turn your body first to the left and then to the right. Repeat 30 to 40 times. When doing this set of movements, try your best to straighten your chest and tighten your abdomen, and turn vigorously.

5. Stand naturally while holding the stick and turning around. Hold a 1-meter-long wooden stick in both hands and place it on the shoulder blades of the back. At the same time, straighten your chest and turn around 20 to 30 times.

3. What should children eat to correct hunchback?

Children with hunchbacks can eat foods that supplement iron and calcium.

Note: The treatment of hunchback has little to do with eating. It should be a habit that is developed daily. The sitting and standing postures should be established from an early age, which are most closely related to the bones. Do more exercise and running.
