Do parents find that their children usually read and write and even stand in poor posture, with their bodies tilted, hunched over, shoulders high and low, standing and sitting in the eyes of adults. It may be scoliosis's fault!
Parents and friends, do you know?At present, scoliosis has become the third major disease that endangers the health of children and adolescents in China after obesity and myopia. Scoliosis can cause deformity of the spine, cause children to have low self-esteem, affect children's motor function, and even cause compression and damage to other organs and nerves such as the heart and lungs, affecting the child's life. Based on the data of the early class of the Chinese Preventive Medicine Spine Disease Prevention and Control Committee, combined with the common opinions of authoritative journals and domestic experts, the number of Chinese junior high, middle and primary school students who only have spinal problems has exceeded 5 million, and the rate is increasing at a rate of about 300,000 per year. What is scoliosis?Scoliosis (scoliosis) is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine, ornamental (awarded) in one or more segments to get rid of the midline of the body, the rotation of the spine and the rotation of the posterior (on) or anterior (anterior), the rotation and deformity of the muscles and ligaments of the ribs and pelvis, and even guess that the above can be synchronized. Scoliosis is an abnormal C- or S-shaped curvature of the spine above 10°. Scoliosis includes idiopathic, congenital, comprehensive scoliosis, etc. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common type.
So what's the danger of the spine?(1) It will cause the child's appearance to be deformed, affect the shape of the spine, and lead to spinal deformation, high and low shoulders, thoracic deformity, long and short legs and other bad postures. (2) Spinal deformation can easily lead to intractable pain in the shoulder, back and waist, and in severe cases, even nerve damage, nerve compression, limb sensory impairment, numbness of the lower limbs, abnormal urine and bowel and bowel and other symptoms. Neurological dysfunction does not show Li Meina in children and adolescents, and scoliosis, interference and ** will be detected in time, and the degree of deformity will become larger, so that there will be low back pain, lumbar spinal cord compression of nerves, and the patient's mobility will be reduced, and even paralysis. At the same time, the increasing cost of increasing difficulties ultimately places a great burden on families and society. Scoliosis with abnormal cardiopulmonary function can compress the respiratory and blood circulation systems, deform the chest, affect the development of cardiopulmonary function, and lead to irreparable damage such as paralysis, cardiopulmonary dysfunction or weakness. (3) Scoliosis will also affect the normal operation of gastrointestinal function, scoliosis will reduce the volume of the abdominal cavity, and the regulation function of spinal nerves to internal organs will be disordered, which will cause gastrointestinal reactions such as loss of appetite and indigestion. (4) The physical function of scoliosis patients will not only affect the body of scoliosis"Different"Children feel socially phobic and worried, because of their bad image, they are teased by students, so they have low self-esteem and produce lung biscuits. It has an impact on learning, social skills, employment in adulthood, and marriage.
Generally speaking, the probability of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is related to the rapid growth and development of the child. Because children with early scoliosis have no symptoms, it is easy to be overlooked, and more parents only realize that something is wrong when their child's growth and development is about to end, but this is the time when the best conservative ** period has been missed. Therefore, the prevention of scoliosis is very important, and here are a few suggestions for you: how can we teenagers prevent scoliosis in our daily life?One. Develop good sitting habits;Studies have shown that long-term poor desk sitting posture can lead to scoliosis;As children get older and spend more and more time studying at their desks, inappropriate desks and chairs and poor sitting posture will seriously affect the development of children's correct sitting posture and also increase the risk of scoliosis. Two. The correct way to carry a schoolbag is to take Germany's recommendations for primary and secondary school students' schoolbags as an example, control the weight of the backpack below 10% of the body weight, and it is also important to place the items in the schoolbag reasonably, the heaviest items should be placed closest to the back, and it is recommended that children try to take the backpack method of carrying it on both shoulders. Three. Scientific physical exercise;The content of physical exercise should be diversified, comprehensively enhance the strength of the muscles on both sides of the spine, front and back muscles, try to participate in activities such as single parallel bars, jumping boxes, balance beams, etc., and avoid frequent unilateral arm-based sports (table tennis, badminton, etc.), which is also an important cause of scoliosis in adolescents and children. Fourth, moderate nutrition: the body should not be too fat and too thin.
How is scoliosis**?1. Manual massage: using traditional Chinese medicine chiropractic and orthopedic techniques to relax and adjust the unbalanced muscles, and use techniques to correct the protruding segments. 2. Gymnastics exercise training: use spinal gymnastics movements to adjust posture, train the muscle strength of weak links, and maintain the training effect. 3. Breathing pattern training: adjusting the breathing pattern of children with scoliosis will help them improve their respiratory muscle strength and restore their respiratory function. 4. Orthosis brace**: Wearing the orthosis as required can be 10°-40° scoliosis. 5. Electrical stimulation**: assist in adjusting muscle tension. 6. Surgery**: suitable for congenital scoliosis, or scoliosis above 40 degrees. Finally, it should be emphasized that if scoliosis is found to be more obvious and cannot be corrected by adjusting posture and exercise, you should go to a regular hospital spine specialist as soon as possible to seek the correct method.
