How to treat hunchback in children?

The phenomenon of hunchback is common in life. Generally speaking, it happens to many elderly people. As they get older, the spine will gradually become curved and hunchbacked.

How to treat hunchbacks in children? Let the above article introduce it to you.

The bones of teenagers have more organic matter, which makes their bones more resilient and plastic. If they do not pay attention to their sitting, standing and walking postures, they are prone to deformation. Another reason for hunchback is lack of physical exercise.

So, how to correct hunchback?

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. There is some truth to what people say about “standing like a pine tree and sitting like a bell”.

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

③Strengthen physical exercise. Take physical education classes seriously, do exercises during breaks, and promote the development of muscle strength. Do corrective exercises as part of your overall exercise routine. There are many types of corrective gymnastics, including various forms of freehand gymnastics and corrective gymnastics using various sports equipment. Correcting kyphosis mainly focuses on strengthening the back muscles, straightening the torso and expanding the chest.

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.

Most of the causes of hunchback come from daily carelessness and poor control of the body. Generally speaking, patients with hunchback can sleep on a hard bed. It is best to lie flat when sleeping to allow the spine to stretch as quickly as possible, and use auxiliary tools for treatment at the same time.
