Scoliosis can’t be blamed on book bags and seats

Many of my friends who have become parents ask me the same question: “My child always sits crookedly on one side, is it easy to damage the spine and turn into a hunchback? When a child has spinal problems, parents will first think that the child’s spine has been “crushed” by overweight school bags or incorrect sitting posture. These parents are a bit too absolute in their thinking. There are many reasons why scoliosis occurs in children, and idiopathic scoliosis is more common. In reality, 70% to 80% of scoliosis patients belong to idiopathic scoliosis, muscle or nerve-induced, the specific cause is still unclear. Therefore, it cannot be said that scoliosis is caused by overweight school bags or improper posture. There are also a few cases of postural scoliosis, which may be caused by the backpack straps not being adjusted properly and not being equal in length, resulting in uneven stress on the shoulders, or twisting the body to play the computer, or sitting down and stilting the legs, and so on. Lack of physical exercise and muscle weakness is also one of the causes of spinal deformation. Because the growth rate of the bones of the adolescent period is relatively fast, and muscle development can not adapt to the growth rate of the body, such as not paying attention to comprehensive physical exercise, it is easy to spinal deformation, so in the supervision of the child’s daily study at the same time, but also to take the child out to ‘go around’, the weekend climbing, after work to play a little badminton, is also not bad for a kind of good physical exercise. It is not a bad idea to play badminton at the end of the day. Although the cause of idiopathic scoliosis is not clear, but it is necessary to pay attention to the posture of standing and sitting on weekdays.
