Many people think that scoliosis is far away from their own children, how can their children be so active and have scoliosis? A large number of studies have found that the incidence of scoliosis is about 2-3%, in other words, for every class of about 50 students, there is one child with scoliosis. Parents may not believe it, but in fact, scoliosis is all around us. In fact, from what I’ve seen so far, parents often don’t notice it at first, even if it’s their own child, not to mention other people’s children. It is only when the child’s symptoms become severe that he or she is seen in the hospital. The easily overlooked idiopathic scoliosis often appears at this age; of course there are many reasons for this: parents are busy at work and the child is brought up by grandparents. Many, many children in large cities live in school because your city is overcrowded with traffic and it is rare to see your child until the weekend. Or maybe junior high and high school students, although they live at home, but the age of the reason are their own bath, change clothes, and Chinese school uniforms are sportswear, fat and loose, parents are difficult to find. Many children after school, always bowed to read and write homework, parents although every time they see it said but the child or so, many parents also did not take it to heart, just think it is a bad habit! Later the school physical examination only found that there is a crestal deformity. But after taking a film to the hospital and feeling that there was no big problem, it was not taken seriously. Scoliosis is often found in adolescents between the ages of 10 and 15, and then develops rapidly and becomes more serious in adulthood. Because this period is the second growth spurt in a person’s life, the crest grows faster, and an otherwise mild scoliosis worsens faster during this period, so parents should pay special attention to adolescents in this age group. The incidence is higher in girls, and the scoliosis arc is more likely to worsen. Obviously, many parents know little or nothing about this disease. Scoliosis is not easily detected, also mainly because there are almost no symptoms in the early stages, it is not painful, and even if there is a little curvature, it is easily hidden by loose clothing. When serious changes occur in the child’s crest, many parents think it is a normal part of the development process, or simply think it is caused by the child’s bad habits such as incorrect posture, say a couple of words and nothing more, which makes scoliosis rapidly aggravate as the child grows older. There are also many children and parents afraid of treatment delayed learning time, during the high school entrance exams sprint is often found will also delay treatment, the consequences are unimaginable. Once treatment is delayed, the child’s scoliosis is likely to worsen during this period, and the curvature that did not need to be operated on, becomes subject to surgery. By the time parents discover that there is a problem, such as thoracic deformity, two shoulders are not equal, the two sides of the breast is obviously not equal, the left side of the breast is often larger (these are typical symptoms of scoliosis of the crest), etc., conservative brace treatment is usually ineffective, can only resort to surgery.
