What should I do if my nine-year-old child has a hunchback?

No matter what age the child is when he or she develops hunchback, parents should pay attention to helping them correct it in a timely manner, because the longer the hunchback lasts, the greater the impact on the child. However, when the child does have a hunchback, how to help them treat and correct it is a headache for many parents. The following article will introduce to parents how to solve the problem when a child has a hunchback.

(1) Exercise is a good way to prevent hunchback. ① Pay attention to the correct posture of the body. Whether standing or walking, the chest should be naturally straight and the shoulders should be naturally stretched backwards. When sitting, the spine should be straight. Do not lower your head too much when reading or writing, and do not lie on the table. There is some truth in what people say about "standing like a pine tree and sitting like a bell". ② It is best for growing adolescents to sleep on a hard bed so that the spine can remain straight during sleep. ③ Strengthen physical exercise. Take physical education classes seriously, do exercises during class breaks, and promote the development of muscle strength. Do corrective gymnastics on the basis of comprehensive exercise. There are many kinds of corrective gymnastics, including various forms of freehand exercises and corrective exercises using various sports equipment. Correction of hunchback mainly focuses on strengthening the back muscles, straightening the trunk and expanding the chest.

(2) Develop good habits. Adolescents are in a critical period of physical development. Their bones and muscles grow rapidly, and the human skeleton has not yet taken shape, which is a period of bone plasticity. In this process, affected by external forces, the bones are very easy to bend and deform; the child's bad posture, working at the desk for too long, carrying heavy loads, etc., change the four normal physiological curvatures of the human spine, leading to an imbalance in the three-dimensional force system, resulting in hunched back, scoliosis, myopia, different lengths of legs, uneven shoulders, and short height.

Mastering and understanding these methods can bring very good results in helping correct children's hunchback problems. Of course, we should also remind children to develop good habits and strengthen physical exercise, because paying attention to active exercise is more effective for their bone development and growth. If you find that your child always hunches over, you should remind him in time.
