What behavior is fragile baby spine? Why do many parents often do this?

Have you ever noticed that children's shoulders are high and low when they walk? Don't think this is an ordinary action or habit. Parents may have overlooked a disease that is high in teenagers-scoliosis! Lying on the table with his neck crooked, bowing his head for a long time, "Ge You collapsed", leaning on the table and holding his head with his hands ... These seemingly natural and comfortable postures are the chief culprit of Bai Wan's children's spinal column gradually tapering.

Girls of this age are at higher risk.

Scoliosis is a common skeletal problem, 80% of which occurs in 10 ~ 15 years old. In patients with 20-degree scoliosis, the ratio of male to female is 1 5; When the temperature is above 30 degrees, the ratio of male to female is 1 to 10. It can be seen from this data that the risk of scoliosis of girls is higher than that of boys.

In the standing posture, whether from the front or the back, the normal person's spine arrangement should be symmetrical from left to right, and the upper and lower parts should be in a straight line.

If you see the spine bending and skewing to any side of your body when standing, it may be scoliosis, which leads to asymmetry between your left and right arms and torso, and one shoulder is high.

However, most scoliosis is not only the left-right inclination of a single plane, but also the rotation of the spine, which also affects the action of the scapula, resulting in limited shoulder joint activity.

How to judge scoliosis? Adam test can be used, which is the best and simplest method to self-test whether scoliosis exists. You can try it: ask the patient to stand with his feet shoulder-width apart and bend forward with his hands crossed. The examiner will check the patient's back for asymmetric protrusions, and the higher protrusion is the convex surface of scoliosis.

It's not just the spine, intelligence, heart, lungs, stomach and intestines that bend.

Scoliosis does harm to the human body not only to the bones themselves, but also to many body organs.

Affect cardiopulmonary function Because scoliosis mostly occurs in the thoracolumbar segment, severe curvature will lead to thoracic rotation deformity and chest volume decline, which will affect cardiopulmonary development and lead to decreased activity endurance, palpitation and shortness of breath.

Scoliosis affects the shape and function of the spine, leading to abnormal shapes such as spinal deformation, uneven shoulder and back, thoracic deformity, pelvic tilt, short legs and poor posture. , accompanied by low back pain, limb pain, limb weakness, decreased labor ability. A few people can't even work, and in severe cases, they will also cause paralysis of lower limbs and complete loss of mobility.

Affect the physical development of girls. For girls, scoliosis will lead to uneven development of both breasts and prominent ribs on one side. Scoliosis can also press the pelvis to tilt and deform. Pregnancy in adulthood will also affect the formation and growth environment of the fetus, and even lead to infertility or fetal abnormalities.

Scoliosis, which affects intelligence, will stretch and compress the normal distribution and growth of spinal nerves and carotid arteries, which will lead to the obstruction of nerve conduction and blood nutrition transportation, lack of nutrition in the brain, slow nerve conduction, slow brain response, and the decline of intelligence indicators such as memory and attention.

Scoliosis affects the gastrointestinal system, reduces the volume of abdominal cavity, and the adjustment function of spinal nerve to internal organs is disordered, thus causing gastrointestinal system reactions such as loss of appetite and indigestion.

If you want to straighten your back, you must do these five things well.

Scoliosis is a physical deformity disease that seriously affects the normal development of children's bones. Don't worry, scoliosis can still be prevented by doing the following five things.

1. Don't bend over when standing, and don't stand in a "three-seven step", that is, 30% of your weight falls on your front foot and 70% on your back foot.

2. Avoid things that are too heavy for a long time.

3. Correct sitting posture (90/90/90), that is, back and thigh, thigh and calf, and calf and pedal are 90 degrees vertical.

4. Stretching the back is good for joint muscles, such as swimming and hanging the horizontal bar.

5. Drink more milk, eat more fish and eggs and bask in the sun properly, which is beneficial to the absorption of calcium and magnesium.

If scoliosis is found through the above examination, is there any way to correct it? First of all, you need to determine how serious your scoliosis is, and there are different correction methods according to different severity.

For severe lateral curvature exceeding 40 degrees, it is necessary to consider whether to perform corrective surgery; Moderate scoliosis of 20 to 40 degrees can be treated with some rehabilitation training and braces. However, mild scoliosis less than 20 degrees can have a certain rehabilitation effect simply through rehabilitation training without orthosis.

Seven comfortable postures are Bai Wan's children's spine.

The causes of adolescent scoliosis include: congenital abnormal spinal structure and spinal tilt, leading to scoliosis or kyphosis. It is rare in clinic and needs surgical correction. Idiopathic spinal structure is basically normal, mostly caused by long-term bad posture and living habits, and most of them can achieve ideal results through conservative treatment.

The reasons for adolescent scoliosis are as follows: first, the desks and chairs do not match the height of students; Second, the schoolbag is too heavy; Third, students' reading and writing postures are incorrect, and some children even curl up and watch electronic products for a long time. The following seven seemingly comfortable postures are all bad postures that easily lead to scoliosis:

Bow your head for a long time, bend over to look at your mobile phone, play computer and do your homework for a long time. The muscles of the neck, shoulders and waist are always in a tense state and cannot be relaxed.

Lying on the table with your neck crooked during lunch break at noon will also affect the muscles of your neck and back for a long time.

Lying on your side with your head up is also very incorrect. If it only lasts for a short time, there will be no problem. If it lasts for a long time, it will affect your neck and waist.

Lie prone on the table, with your head resting on the table, your head resting on your hands, and your body leaning to one side of your head at the same time. This is the worst habit of children when they do their homework. This posture causes the neck, waist and pelvis of teenagers to be twisted.

When standing in the posture of "three seven steps", the body's center of gravity is always put aside, and the abdomen is convex, which is also commonly known as "three seven steps". This posture will cause the spine to lean to one side, the muscles on both sides of the waist are unbalanced, the waist is bent and the load is too heavy. If you need to carry another heavy schoolbag, the problem will be aggravated and the consequences will be more serious.

Some children often lie in bed with their heads in their hands. This posture will affect the normal bending of the lumbar spine for a long time and easily cause lumbar muscle strain.

"Ge You's paralysis" is very popular in the past two years, and "Ge You's paralysis" does great harm to cervical, thoracic and lumbar vertebrae.

It's already bent? Six corrective measures

Bad posture and scoliosis can be mutually causal and vicious circle, so it is necessary to pay attention to the correction of bad posture to control the development of scoliosis. Hold your head high, don't stoop and try to avoid crossing your legs for a long time. For most people with mild scoliosis, it is recommended to focus on stretching and strength training of back muscles:

1. Sit cross-legged, stretch your spine upward, look forward, twist your body to the right, put your left hand on your right knee, put your right hand behind your back, twist your body further, look sideways at the back, don't shrug your shoulders, stay for 10 to 30 seconds, and then switch to the other side.

The left arm and trunk are placed vertically on the left side of the body, and the right hand is placed on the left knee joint to assist the knee joint to press down. Lie flat on your upper body. Hold 10 for 30 seconds, then switch to the other side.

4. Kneeling posture, the right hand touches the ground on the left knee, the left hand and the right leg extend far away, the back is kept straight, the waist does not collapse, the abdomen is tightened to keep the body stable, and the other side is changed after staying for 10 to 30 seconds.

5. When lying on your back, your legs are slightly wider than your shoulders, your feet are on the ground, and your hands are at your sides. Slowly lift your hips to your thighs, in line with your body. When lifting hips, the upper back supports the ground, exhales when lifting hips, and inhales when falling. Can be 5 to 10 times as a group, repeat 4 to 5 groups.
