According to information, scoliosis is most common in adolescents aged 10 to 14 years old because this period is the second growth spurt in a person’s life, the spine grows faster, and scoliosis that is originally mild aggravates faster during this period, so parents should pay special attention to children in this age group. How is it detected? Early scoliosis is not obvious in appearance, and most scoliosis is detected when the child takes a bath or wears fewer clothes. If you notice the following signs in your child, you should be alerted to the presence of scoliosis: uneven neckline, one shoulder is higher than the other; asymmetrical development of both breasts in girls, with the left breast tends to be larger; one side of the back is bulging; one side of the waist is wrinkled; one side of the hip is higher than the other; and the lower limbs on both sides are not equal in length. At this time, you can give your child some simple checks, such as touching the spine’s spinous processes with your hand and observing whether they are in a straight line, or letting your child stand upright and then bend forward to observe whether the back is symmetrical. If, after a simple examination, you find that your child has an abnormality, you should take your child to the hospital immediately. Why is timely treatment necessary? Mild scoliosis and the early stages of scoliosis do not cause changes in spinal stability, flexibility and load-bearing function except for the asymmetry of the spine. However, if it is not diagnosed and treated timely and correctly, it will cause obvious appearance deformity. Secondly, the imbalance of the trunk can cause muscle fatigue and pain due to compression causing symptoms such as pain, numbness, weakness and radiating pain in the lower limbs, which can lead to paralysis in severe cases. In addition, some children may have psychological disorders caused by scoliosis, causing damage to physical and mental health. How to prevent scoliosis in infants? Infants should not sit too early, some mothers in order to let the child not cry, they do more work, when the baby 3 ~ 4 months of age, the baby wrapped in a quilt to let him sit up, sit for hours, sometimes the baby fell asleep while sitting. Sitting in the same position for a long time, the infant is easily fatigued, but also easy to cause spinal curvature. Young children should sit in the correct posture, the height of the table, chair should be appropriate; writing, reading to sit upright, not crooked lying on the desktop, and at the same time should be appropriate to change the position of the rest, so as not to cause scoliosis. How to treat? Once scoliosis occurs, it should be corrected as soon as possible, and the earlier it is detected, the better the result will be. Generally, if the scoliosis is less than 20 degrees, it is enough to pay attention to the posture and corrective exercises; if the scoliosis is 30 degrees, it needs to be corrected by orthopedic braces; if the scoliosis is more than 40 degrees, it is necessary to carry out surgical treatment. It should be reminded that scoliosis patients should correct the bad posture in sitting, standing and walking in daily life in order to consolidate the effect of exercise and surgical correction.
