Correction method for rib valgus in children

The physical health of young children is an issue that parents are very concerned about. However, since the various organs of young children are not yet fully developed, their body resistance and immunity are not as strong as those of adults. In daily life, some abnormal conditions are inevitable. For example, some young children may have symptoms of rib valgus. Parents do not need to worry too much about this symptom. We can use the following methods to correct it.

There are two main reasons for infant rib valgus: one is simple rib development deformity; the other is rickets. The vast majority of children's rib valgus is caused by rickets. In addition, the child's trouser waist is too tight and tied too high, which puts long-term pressure on the development of the ribs and causes the baby's ribs to be everted. Doctors recommend that children under two years old should wear overalls.

Early treatment is mainly based on calcium supplementation. If the recovery is good, surgery is not required because the child’s bones have not yet formed and timely calcium supplementation can correct it. However, if there is no improvement after the age of two, surgical correction is indeed necessary. The risk of surgery is low and the recovery is good. Corrective treatment should be carried out in a timely manner according to the child's condition. Ask your doctor to diagnose the cause first and then prescribe the right medicine. At the same time, children should be encouraged to do some corrective exercises to help expand the chest and enhance respiratory function.

1. Breathing exercise: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, relax your body, close your eyes slightly, and gently raise your arms forward to the top of your head while inhaling. Pause for a while, let your arms fall naturally, accompanied by deep exhalation. Do this several times a day, each time for 10 minutes.

2. Do push-ups or hold dumbbells and raise your arms in front of you 3 to 4 times a day, each time for 10 minutes.

3. Do somersaults on single and double bars on an empty stomach every morning, but don't overexert yourself.

4. Jogging: Jogging helps to enhance visceral activity, expand breathing volume, and improve chest hypoplasia.
