What should I do if my child has a hunchback?

Many people have the problem of hunchback. Hunchback does not only occur in a certain group. Whether it is adults or minors, the probability of occurrence is very high. So what should we do if children have hunchback? The key to answering this question lies in the parents, because parents play a vital role. Next let us find out what to do if children have hunchbacks?

Hunchback, also known as round back, is a manifestation of spinal deformity and can occur in men, women, young and old.

There is no clinical medicine to treat hunchback, and it can only be corrected through physical therapy. The principles of correction are to strengthen the back muscles, extend the length of the torso, expand the range of the chest, and pay attention to the sitting and standing posture. The specific method is as follows:

(1) Crawling exercise: Place 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 the waist to be used as the axis to drive the limbs, so that the waist can always remain in a natural, comfortable and upright position, 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, raise your head and chest up, and 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 a stick and turning your body. Hold a 1-meter-long wooden stick in both hands and place it on your shoulder blades. At the same time, straighten your chest and turn your body 20 to 30 times.

(6) Lie on the bed in a supine position with your shoulders close to the edge of the bed and your head tilted back naturally. Stretch out your arms and shake them down 20 to 30 times.

(7) Supine Bridge Lie on your back on the bed, use your head and feet as support points, arch your body like a bridge, pause for 5 to 10 seconds, and then lower it. Repeat this 10 to 20 times.

The skeleton is the support of the human body, and the spine is the central axis, which is 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.

In addition to injury, there are several conditions that can cause kyphosis. One is genetics, and the other is bad habits. Most people's hunchbacks are caused by bad habits. For example, people usually walk with their heads down, do not pay attention to their posture when sitting, and girls deliberately hunch their shoulders and lower their heads to hide their protruding breasts.

To eliminate hunchback, you should pay attention to overcoming the above bad habits. When walking or running, keep your chest and head up. Every morning and evening, lie on the bed or kang with your shoulders on the edge, lying on your back with your head hanging in the air, and use your hands to touch the ground behind you (pay attention to safety). You can also do this during the day when you are resting. Things will improve slowly.

From the above answers to the question of what to do with children who have hunchbacks, we can see that although there are many methods, not every method is suitable for your child. The choice of method is crucial because it indicates whether your child can be successfully corrected. Of course, you can also use some correction tools to achieve the purpose of correction.
