Girls grow fast before menarche, pay attention to whether the spine is scoliosis

  In recent years, the incidence of adolescent scoliosis has increased trend, the use of computers and cell phones, heavy learning tasks make children in an unreasonable posture for a long time is certainly one of the important reasons, however, there are some easily ignored reasons also need to pay attention to. In the recently held annual academic meeting of the Guangdong Rehabilitation Medical Association Spinal Injury Rehabilitation Committee, experts suggested that adolescent growth is too fast, the use of trolley bags, desks from first grade to sixth grade height remains the same, etc., are the causes of scoliosis, but these reasons are often easy to ignore. Reminded that children who grow particularly fast should have their spine tested at least once a month, especially girls who grow slim and trim.  The current situation: the vast majority of patients girls In recent years, the incidence of adolescent scoliosis has shown an increasing trend, in addition to early detection, early detection factors, but also with the habits of children in modern society, for example, with the popularity of computers and cell phones and the increased learning tasks of children, making more and more children in unreasonable posture for a long time.  Currently, there is no national census of adolescent scoliosis, and the incidence varies from a few percent to 20 percent. Scoliosis generally occurs in adolescents aged 10 to 14 years, especially in girls, with an incidence of 1 to 4 percent. Scoliosis occurs in the majority of girls. Generally speaking, parents in the city now pay more attention to the physical development of children, therefore, most of the city children’s scoliosis is found earlier. “The most worrying thing is that some rural children, often when they come to the clinic scoliosis is already very serious.”  The danger: severe scoliosis can affect the function of internal organs Mild scoliosis generally has no impact on life as long as it is detected early and treated early. However, severe scoliosis, first of all, affects the appearance of the image; second, will be easier than the average person back pain, especially after exertion; third, the muscle tolerance is also poor, easily lead to the inability to withstand high-intensity exercise, affecting motor function; fourth, more serious, even if not exertion, there will be back pain; fifth, more serious, will affect the function of internal organs, such as due to the thoracic mobility Poor thoracic mobility, will affect breathing, especially the hunchback and spine rotation, will affect the heart and lung function.  The vast majority of adolescent scoliosis has no obvious cause and is idiopathic scoliosis. Another part is secondary scoliosis, which occurs secondary to certain diseases, such as neurological diseases. There are also traumas that can cause scoliosis, but most scoliosis is caused by poor posture and malnutrition. The following are three of the most easily overlooked reasons: 1, girls grow too fast during the growth period is prone to calcium deficiency Parents will pay more attention to whether the child has poor posture, but little attention to whether the child is malnourished. Many parents do not believe that their children will be malnourished, in fact, they forget that the child’s protein or fat may not be lacking, but, due to partiality, many children will be deficient in calcium. “Moreover, children nowadays spend far less time outdoors and in the sun, so calcium absorption is naturally insufficient. And children’s bones and muscles are inherently malleable, so scoliosis can easily occur. Girls, in particular, are more prone to scoliosis than boys.” Wang Chuhuai said, one is that girls grow earlier than boys, the second is that girls do not love sports, and the third is that girls do not easily show their backs when they reach a certain age, which is not easy to be detected. “Girls are most likely to develop scoliosis if they grow particularly fast before menstruation. Therefore, children who are growing fast should have their spine tested at least once a month, especially girls who are growing slim and trim. Usually, after a girl has her period, the rate of height gain will slow down.”  2, mismatched desks In terms of poor posture, parents also pay attention to long periods of head bowing and carrying school bags on one shoulder. However, there are some reasons parents and children are not aware of.  First of all, in most schools, the height of the desks and chairs never changes from the first grade to the sixth grade, and at this stage, children grow very fast, so that in the upper grades of elementary school, many children must “bow like a shrimp” when writing in class. He called, elementary school desks to increase with the height of children and “taller”, it is best to customize the liftable tables and chairs.  Secondly, the students’ seats are not changed all year round. Wang Chuhuai said that some schools, the child’s seat for a long time without changing, sitting on both sides of the child for a long time to maintain a sideways posture, but also prone to scoliosis.  3, the use of trolley bags Many parents know that children for a long time low, single-shoulder backpack or back too heavy bags can easily lead to scoliosis, so turn to choose trolley bags. However, long-term fixed with one hand using the trolley bags, will also make a person’s body lean forward, the spine’s stress position lateral, muscle development imbalance, resulting in postural scoliosis. He reminded that it is best for students to choose a shoulder bag with a wider strap to increase the contact area between the bag and the shoulder, and not too heavy. At the same time, try to carry the schoolbag higher, so that the lowest end of the schoolbag is not lower than the hip.  Correction: mainly rely on biomechanical adjustment deformity serious people need surgery If parents find that the child appears uneven neckline, one shoulder than the other side of the high, girls with asymmetric breast development, one side of the back bulge, waist side of the crease, one side of the hip than the other side of the high, both sides of the lower limbs are not equal, should be alert to whether suffering from scoliosis.  In terms of prevention, elementary school students can exercise their spine by doing radio gymnastics, swimming and other sports. In fact, the movement of standardized radio gymnastics can play a very good exercise for the spine. When swimming, the muscles of the neck, back, waist and legs are also relaxed and exercised.  If there is a more serious scoliosis, he reminded that there is no drug can be treated, the most important thing is to rely on biomechanical adjustment, deformity serious people need surgery to correct. You can rely on exercise to make muscle development balanced, adjust the lower limbs, pelvis and spine to make the spine biomechanically balanced, or you can use mechanical pulse shock therapy to adjust the bones, joints and muscles. “It is mainly through a high frequency and low force impact to adjust the alignment of the bones and joints and muscle tension, and activate the neuromuscles, thus achieving a corrective effect.”
