Why a fall can make the child, fall into scoliosis?

  Summer is the best time for parents to discover scoliosis, and most children do exercises to recover without having to “go under the knife”.  As adults, hunchback, chicken chest, pelvic tilt, unequal shoulders, unequal backs, unequal legs, twisted bodies, short stature …… these terrible physical adjectives may actually come from the same disease lurking in adolescents – scoliosis.  Don’t underestimate scoliosis, it causes more than just “unsightly”, it can also cause low back pain and premature disc degeneration or even herniation and osteophytes in children. If the bend causes the thoracic and abdominal cavity area to shrink, serious cases will also prevent the normal physiological functions of breathing, digestion, blood circulation, etc. Summer vacation clothing is thin, it is the parents and children themselves to find the best period of scoliosis, if found in time, the vast majority of children as long as the exercise rehabilitation can be done, do not have to go through the “surgery off”.  Fall bent spine, not corrected in a timely manner, even a lifetime: already a teenager Amoy in kindergarten, a play slide accidentally fell off the edge, head stitches five stitches, was diagnosed by the doctor as a “mild concussion”, but after discharge, he seemed to be all right. One day, while reading a book with his head down at home with his upper body bare, his mother suddenly noticed that her son’s vertebrae seemed significantly bent from behind, and his neck and thoracic vertebrae were skewed to one side and not in a straight line. So they took Taotao to the hospital for medical attention.  X-rays showed that the physiological curvature of his neck was abnormal, with osteophytes on the posterior edge of the vertebrae and a mild “C” shaped scoliosis in the cervicothoracic segment of the spine. Because Taotao was a first-time patient, the specialist was very detailed about the medical history and physical examination. “When I asked if he had had head and neck trauma as a child, or if he had fallen from a height, his mother told me he had fallen from a height.” Wang Chuhuai introduced, a combination of circumstances, it can be presumed that Amoy due to trauma after spinal injury, vertebral alignment abnormalities were not corrected in time, resulting in his current scoliosis deformity.  Although after three months of treatment for the spine, Tao tao symptoms have improved significantly, but he has been impossible to return to the best state. “If we could have gotten timely diagnosis and treatment, the scoliosis would not have been as severe as it is now.” The specialist said.  Childhood spinal alignment is prone to errors: Many people think of spinal disease as an “occupational disease” or “urban disease,” but there is an “exception” to the rule: scoliosis The “main card” is children and adolescents. Like Amoy’s case belongs to traumatic scoliosis. In fact, scoliosis is divided into many kinds, of which idiopathic scoliosis is the most common, accounting for about 85% of the total number of scoliosis patients, the exact cause is still unclear. Its onset has a ‘preference for females over males’ phenomenon, and likes to concentrate on adolescence.  It has been calculated that the vertebrae that make up the spine can be arranged in nearly 200 million different combinations. The combination is in a normal state, the human spine to maintain health. But life is very much a “trap”, the slightest carelessness can cause spinal injury, affecting the normal alignment of the spine, resulting in scoliosis.” He described to reporters: since birth, newborn babies have to go through layers of spinal hazards: at birth, the baby’s head and neck are often pulled left and right by doctors and nurses, friends and relatives; less than a year old will be crawling and rolling, and may fall to the ground if you are not careful; toddler, wrestling is a common occurrence; after school, every day to carry a heavy schoolbag, head down to write the never-ending homework ……? As the spine in childhood is not yet mature, the structure is not stable, the protection mechanism is not perfect, many factors can easily cause abnormal spinal alignment of children, serious to a certain extent before the obvious performance, this is the main reason why children are prone to spinal disorders and not easily detected.  Children have a strong compensatory capacity of the spine and do not easily feel bad; others are simply accused by their parents of “sitting without sitting and standing without standing” because of their unsightly sitting and standing posture, which they intend to correct through scolding without success. So it’s not easy to find the real culprit of spinal abnormalities quickly.” He said that because of the softness of teenage joints, some symptoms are easily produced and disappear, or are less obvious, but the abnormal alignment of the spine is retained and becomes a hidden danger for future seriousness.  According to statistics, 80% of the elderly scoliosis originated in childhood and adolescence, while in China, the incidence of various degrees of spinal abnormalities or scoliosis in children is as high as 20%.
