What should I do if my child has a hunchback?

If a child has a hunchback, it should be corrected immediately. If the hunchback is not corrected in childhood, it will have a great impact on the future. Hunchback will affect the height of children, and hunchback is not conducive to their healthy growth. If a child has hunchback, it is mostly caused by bad habits. If it is caused by congenital reasons, he should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. Next, let’s take a look at how to correct hunchback in teenagers!

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.

2. It is best for growing teenagers to sleep on a hard bed so that the spine can remain straight while sleeping.

3. Strengthen physical exercise. Take physical education classes seriously and do exercises during breaks to promote the development of muscle strength.

4. Do corrective gymnastics on the basis of comprehensive exercise. There are many types of corrective gymnastics, including various forms of freehand gymnastics and corrective gymnastics using various sports equipment.

5. Sit in a reclining chair, hold both sides of the chair behind your hips with your hands, hold your head high and chest out, stretch your shoulders back, and maintain this position for 10 to 15 minutes each time, 3 to 4 times a day.

6. Stand with your back facing the wall, about 30 cm away from the wall, feet shoulder-width apart, raise both arms and extend them backward, while tilting your head back, with your hands touching the wall and then returning to the original position. Repeat 10 times, 2 to 3 times a day.

7. Lie on your back in bed, place a 6-10 cm thick pad on the protruding part of your hunchback, relax your whole body, stretch your arms naturally, with your palms facing up, and stretch your shoulders back. Stay in this position for more than 5 minutes, and do it 2-3 times a day.

8. Sit or stand, hold the gymnastics stick with both hands, place it horizontally on your shoulders and back, raise your head and chest, and stop when you feel soreness in the shoulder and back muscles. Do this once in the morning and once in the evening.

Severe hunchback means spinal deformity. Children often suffer from spinal deformity, and the consequences can be imagined. You can use some auxiliary devices to treat hunchback, but you must get the doctor's consent. If used without authorization, it may make the situation worse or be detrimental to future bone development. It is necessary for children to exercise more, which can not only improve hunchback but also exercise the body.
