How to treat hunchback in children

Many parents will be very sad and worried when their children have scoliosis, because if the condition reaches this level, it will affect their children's appearance and make their children's future development more difficult. However, there are many cases of hunchbacks in children nowadays, so it is always difficult to prevent. Therefore, you should establish a correct posture for your children from the beginning.

If a child has spinal deformity, it will not only affect his appearance, but also be detrimental to his heart and lung development. The key to preventing and correcting children's hunchback lies in the parents. We should educate children to maintain good living and learning postures. For example, when standing or walking, eyes should look straight ahead and chest should be naturally upright; when sitting, back should be straight, and do not lower the head too much when reading or writing.

If hunchback has already occurred, it is recommended that the child sleep on a hard bed and do 15 minutes of back stretching and correction exercises every morning before getting up. The method is: put a high pillow under the back, relax the whole body, and let the head lean back as much as possible. If the spinal deformity is mild, it can usually be corrected by persisting for about half a year.

In addition, children's hunchback is generally divided into two types: postural hunchback and juvenile hunchback. Most children's hunchbacks are postural hunchbacks caused by bad habits. As long as their bad habits are corrected in time and some functional exercises are performed, they can be recovered. As for juvenile kyphosis, it often has a pathological basis and is mostly accompanied by a genetic history, so you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

The human skeleton is the support of the human body. Not only is the spine the central axis, but it is also composed of more than 30 vertebrae that are overlapped and connected in a regular pattern. Normally, it has 4 physiological bends. The cervical segment convexes forward, the thoracic segment convexes backward, the lumbar segment convexes forward again, and the sacral and coccygeal segment convexes backward again. When the spine curves forward too much, it is called hunchback. Medical knowledge tells us that exercising at an early age, avoiding fatigue, and paying attention to balanced nutrition can slow down the aging process. Supplementing calcium and getting adequate sun exposure can help prevent osteoporosis. People who already have hunchback should sleep on a hard bed without using pillows that are too high. Back muscle exercises, especially back extension exercises, can help slow down the progression of hunchback. The specific treatment plan must be confirmed by a doctor and then treated actively.

① Pay attention to correct body posture. Whether you are standing or walking, keep your chest straight and your shoulders naturally stretched back. Sit with your spine straight. Don't lower your head too much when reading or writing, and don't lie on the table. There is some truth to what people say about “standing like a pine tree and sitting like a bell”.

Once a child is found to have a hunchback, the first thing he should do is to take him to the hospital for examination, because only in this way can it be confirmed whether his child has a hunchback. He should not use some drugs at home to treat his child's hunchback, because drug treatment has no effect on diseases such as hunchback, and physical treatment must be carried out.
