Don't "Geyou lie down" again, the spine can not afford to hurt!

Xiaoqian is 13 years old. One day, her mother suddenly found out how the shoulders are high and low when the child is standing. After careful inspection, Xiaoqian's spine bones were obviously raised, and the entire back was distorted. What happened to the child's spine? With this question, Xiaoqian's mother consulted the relevant experts of the Rehabilitation Medicine Department of Longhua Hospital. "This child has a common spinal disease called adolescent idiopathic scoliosis", and the rehabilitation medical doctor of Longhua Hospital Opened the doubts of Xiaoqian's mother.

Scoliosis, a "invisible killer" for the healthy growth of adolescents, conducted a screening survey of spine health for students in Shanghai. The survey found that in these schools, the incidence of idiopathic scoliosis in adolescents reached more than 2%. Based on this incidence rate, among the nearly 6 million young people in Shanghai, there will be more than 100,000 young people in the flower season who will lose their tall and straight body.

In recent years, the three major problems of adolescent growth are myopia, scoliosis and mental health. Myopia and mental health have been widely concerned by the community and parents. The “onset rate” is quite high, but the scoliosis is People's negligence has become a "invisible killer" that threatens the healthy growth of young people in the flower season, and the children who should have developed normally have embarked on the road.

Scoliosis is a great hazard and needs attention

Despite the serious consequences of this disease, the survey found that due to the lack of knowledge about spine health, the importance of school and family is not enough for the seriousness of the disease. Therefore, it is particularly important to strengthen the understanding and understanding of the structure and function of the spine and to master scientific exercise methods and preventive measures. Dr. Tang also reminded parents that they should pay enough attention to the child's spine health problems. Poor sitting, standing and even sleeping postures may become a heavy burden for the fragile spine.

Why do these problems occur in the spine? The root cause of spinal distortion is pelvic malformation, and poor sitting posture and standing posture are the main causes of pelvic distortion. For example, children do homework at a long time desk, sitting poorly, or prefer to sleep in bed, sit on a high chair or sleep, are some of life. Bad little habits. The most popular "Ge You Li" this summer has a great adverse effect on the development of adolescent spine.

When Ge You was lying, the spine lacked sufficient support, causing the original curvature to be forced to change. The pelvis was tilted backwards and laterally, and the support of the pelvis to the spine changed. In the long-term sitting posture, the lumbar vertebrae are pressed down and the whole body is shortened, and the central axis of the body is displaced rearward and laterally, thereby inducing cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation, scoliosis and the like. In addition, because the ligaments and soft tissues of the adolescent spine are quite soft, the bone development is not complete. The heavy schoolbag is a big burden on the developing spine. Long-term compression is easy to cause scoliosis. Therefore, it is recommended that the children who go to school try to use it. Drag the bag to avoid putting too much burden on the spine.

How to initially judge whether a teenager's spine is bent? Parents can self-examine whether the shoulders are symmetrical, whether there is a shoulder bulge, or whether the sides of the back of the child are symmetrical after bending down the waist. If you find any abnormalities, you should seek medical advice promptly. Scoliosis The rate of development is not slow. There was a small patient who had only 10 degrees of mild scoliosis at the age of 12, and developed to a moderate 30 degree after 2 years.

The spine is bent, what should I do?

Doctors usually use braces to treat moderate scoliosis. Mild patients can be adjusted with some massage techniques. If you develop to a degree of scoliosis above 40 degrees, you need surgery, but this surgery is bigger. It also has a certain impact on physical health, so parents still have to pay enough attention.

In addition, in daily life, teenagers can also strengthen their exercise through the "reverse movement" method, such as the cross-phase handshake, the heart flips upwards, the arms are stretched backwards, and the head and neck are forced to recline. A large "throwing chest" exercise, boys can also do a few more push-ups to adjust.
