How to treat hunchback in children?

A child's hunchback is caused by a spinal deformity, which not only affects the child's appearance, but is also extremely detrimental to the child's cardiopulmonary development. When this happens, the first thing we need to do is to find the cause of the child's hunchback, and then conduct targeted treatment or correction. This is the most sensible method. Generally, we mainly treat children's hunchback through the following methods.

1. 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.

2. If hunchback has already occurred, it is recommended to let 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.

3. 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 above is how to treat children's hunchback. Once you find that your child has such a condition, you must take timely measures. First, it can prevent the child's hunchback from becoming more serious. Second, it can prevent it from affecting the child's healthy growth. The phenomenon of hunchback is not easy to treat, and it takes a long process to correct or treat it.
