In recent years, the incidence of scoliosis in Children in China has shown a significant upward trend.
The survey found that up to 8% of children found spinal health problems.
Scoliosis girls have 2.5 times more common incidence than boys, and girls around menarche may progress ten times faster than boys.
The spine is a major component of the human body's structure
Known as the "second lifeline" of the human body
It is the "pillar and pillar" of the human body.
Scoliosis doesn't just affect your child's posture
In terms of short-term effects, spinal health problems can affect the height development of adolescents and children, resulting in lower height than their peers.
Due to spinal problems caused by spinal imbalance, it is easy to cause sedentary fatigue and low back pain, resulting in children's learning energy is not concentrated, which may affect the performance.
In the long run, if the child's spinal deformity is not treated in time, the child's health will deteriorate as he ages.
It is easier than the average person to have back pain, and the endurance of the muscles will also become worse, resulting in a decrease in the ability to work. A small number of people are unable to work, which in severe cases can lead to paralysis of the lower limbs and complete incapacity.
In addition, relevant research data show that 80% of adults with headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, low back strain, sore hands and feet, and numbness are related to spinal abnormalities in childhood.
Many bad habits can affect a child's spinal development, and there are three main reasons for these phenomena:
The schoolwork is heavy
The burden of children's schoolwork has increased, and various extracurricular cram classes have increased.
Children need to sit at their desks for a long time and lack physical exercise.
According to the survey, 33% of adolescents and children do not have enough time to exercise.
The school bag is too heavy
According to the survey, 19% of adolescents and children carry more than 3 kilograms of school bags.
Incorrect posture
Students have incorrect reading and writing postures, and some children like to play with the computer for a long time.
Children often lie on their stomachs to write homework, read books, and some children like to bend their bodies to one side, which is very bad for the spine, which will lead to hunchback and lateral bending of the spine in the long run, and even cause problems with bone development.
Because the pathogenesis of spinal problems is not painful or itchy, parents are easy to ignore, often think that it is a normal phenomenon in the development process of the child, or simply think that it is caused by the child's incorrect posture, and will correct itself with age, thus missing the best correction period.
So, will a child's spine problem really get better as he grows older?
Some spinal problems are caused by spinal diseases, so they should be detected and treated early; some spinal problems are caused by poor posture, which also need to be corrected early, and if the spine has been fixed for a long time, the treatment is more difficult.
Therefore, after the child's spine problems occur, they will not gradually improve over time, but will only gradually worsen.
Want to prevent spinal health problems, one is that when the child is 6 to 7 years old, the physiological curvature of the spine is gradually stabilized by the surrounding muscles and ligaments, and this stage should correct the child's living habits such as standing, walking, sitting and other living habits in time; the second is in the second peak period of spinal growth and development after the age of 10, we must pay attention to supplementing nutrition for children and strengthening physical exercise.
Prevention and treatment of spinal deformities or problems in adolescents and children is the key to preventing them in advance.
