How to treat hunchback in children?

Hunchback is a very common phenomenon in our lives. It also brings great trouble to our daily life, especially for some children. Children are young and ignorant, but as parents, we must pay attention to it, because children's hunchback will have a great impact on their future development. So before that, we must first understand the causes of children's hunchback. So how to treat hunchback in children?

1. Congenital malformation of the spine. Some congenital spinal malformations have no obvious symptoms or signs and are only discovered during X-rays due to other diseases. This type of disease does not affect their life and work. Some people do not pay attention to it when they are young, but the symptoms worsen with age, causing back pain or neurological symptoms. This requires medical treatment.

2. Bone and joint tuberculosis. Hunchback caused by this disease was more common in the past, but has become less common in recent years. It often occurs in the lower thoracic or thoracolumbar segments, often involving multiple vertebrae. The course of the disease is long and lasts for a long time. Due to the destructive invasion of tuberculosis bacteria, the vertebrae are damaged, deformed and fused, causing kyphosis or scoliosis of the spine, forming an angular deformity - hunchback. At this time, it can only be corrected through surgery.

3. Ankylosing spondylitis. It is a unique disease of the connective tissue. The pathological basis of hunchback is: first, inflammatory reaction causes calcification and ossification of joints, synovium, ligaments, soft tissues, etc., resulting in stiffness and ankylosis; second, pain and stiffness lead to limited movement, and most joints are stiff, deformed, and flexed. This disease is more common in young men. Treatment is to control inflammation and relieve symptoms. Severe flexion deformity may require surgical correction.

4. Idiopathic scoliosis. This disease can also cause hunchback. It often occurs in young women. The cause of the disease is not very clear, and it may be related to nutritional deficiencies, genetic factors, muscle growth and development, and spinal growth disorders. In addition to the main convexity, the spine also has auxiliary convexity, which can cause a unique "S"-shaped hunchback. In the early stages of the disease, muscle training can be strengthened and corrective braces can be worn, while surgery is recommended in the late stages.

5. Juvenile hunchback. Also known as Scheuermann's disease, spondyloepiphysiitis, and spondyloosteocartilage disease, it is a developmental abnormality. Its characteristic is that the posterior convexity is gentle like a hill, so it is called "round back". The correction method is to sleep on a hard bed for half a year and strengthen the training of the waist and back muscles.

The above is an introduction to the causes of hunchback in children and its corresponding treatment methods. When there is a problem with the child’s bones, it must be corrected in time, otherwise it will be difficult to correct it after the bones are formed. Therefore, parents still need to pay attention to it and must help their children correct the hunchback problem as soon as possible, because it is relatively simple to correct it in childhood.
