Children “hunchback”? It could be scoliosis!

  Nowadays, children are under heavy academic pressure and often study late into the night. Many children suffer from myopia and incorrect sitting posture, which leads to the common phenomenon of “hunchback” in the elderly, medically known as scoliosis. If a child has a “hunchback” at a young age, the quality of his or her future life and study can be imagined.  So, as a parent, how can you tell if your child is suffering from scoliosis? Here is the easiest way to tell if your child has scoliosis, that is, “five looks and one touch”: one look: observe the child’s back and waist, whether one side bulges; two look: observe the child’s neckline, whether one shoulder is higher than the other; three look: if there are girls in the family, the mother observe whether the development of their breasts is symmetrical; four look: observe the child’s hip Five look: let the child lie on the bed, the head put right, both hands symmetrically on both sides of the body, both legs together, observe the heel to see if the two legs are the same length.  One touch: Feel the spine of the child’s spine with your hand to see if it is in a straight line. If it is not, it is possible that the spine is scoliosis.  After such a simple check, if you find any abnormality in your child, you need to go to the hospital for further examination in time.
