How to tell if you have scoliosis?

I have a bent spine myself, and my spine is obviously bent to the right. I found it because the doctor accidentally found it when I was acupuncture for rhinitis. In fact, it is easy to find the curvature of the spine.

(1) Pay attention to whether the shoulders are at the same height.

(2) Pay attention to whether the shoulder blades on both sides are high.

(3) Pay attention to whether the shoulder blades are high to one side after bending over. Like a razor?

(4) If it is a girl, pay attention to whether the breasts are developed and whether the sizes on both sides are the same.

(5) Is the spine bent? Slide your finger down the spinous process of the child's back. If the sliding trajectory is not straight, scoliosis will be suspected.

(6) Is there any skin wrinkle at the waist?

1. straightedge measurement method: the examinee lies prone on a hard bed, and the measurer uses a straightedge, both ends of which are fixed at the foramen magnum and sacral spine respectively, and then touches the spine along the straightedge with his hand. If all spinous processes are consistent with the ruler, it is normal. If the spine deviates from the ruler, it is curved.

2. Observation method: The testee stands at attention, and the testee observes whether the shoulders are equal in height, the back is equal in height, the legs are equal in length, the left and right shoulder blades are symmetrical on both sides of the spine, and the lower angle is equal in height.

3. Touch method: it is an empirical test method. The accuracy of inspection is closely related to experience. Often affected by variation.

4.X-ray: X-ray film is the main means to diagnose scoliosis, which can determine the type, etiology, location and severity of deformity. It is required to take full-length anteroposterior radiographs of the spine, including pelvis, to reflect the true situation of deformity and the balance of trunk.

5. Reflex test: It is a summary of 30 years' clinical observation by Dr. Chen Yun. When the patient does specific limb movements according to the doctor's instructions, if the corresponding vertebrae are displaced, the long and short legs will change. After special manipulative stimulation at specific acupoints, the displaced vertebral body can be adjusted by the nervous system to return to its proper position. This is a comprehensive evaluation method of abnormal curvature of human spine, which can be standardized and popularized, and has a positive effect on the diagnosis and treatment of abnormal curvature of spine.

Everyone should pay attention to whether his spine is bent.

Parents can do a simple self-test to initially determine whether the child has scoliosis. The specific method is as follows.

When the child stands, his arms are relaxed and naturally hang down at his sides. Parents observe whether his back exists from the rear:
