What causes children and adolescent spinal bending?Pay attention to these points to prevent early prevention →

Scoliosis has become the third largest disease that endangers the health of children and adolescents in our country after obesity and myopia. Spinal bending will not only cause deformity of the spine, but also affect the function of the child's activity, and even cause compression and damage to other organs and nerves such as cardiopulmonary and lungs. The Municipal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that students should pay attention to their spine health. If there is a situation of uncomfortable neck and waist and waist, inform parents and teachers in time. Parents should urge their children to develop correct sitting and standing positions to maintain healthy ridge habits and consciousness. For details

Question 1: Is the spine bending natural? What causes it?

Spinal bending is mainly divided into non -structural spinal bending and structural spinal bending. The former refers to a temporary side bend caused by some reasons. Once the reason is removed, it can return to normal. The latter is often a real spine side curve. It is classified according to the cause, which is usually divided into special spinal bending and other types of spine side curves.

The cause of the special spine bending is unknown. It is the most common type of spinal bending of children and adolescents, accounting for about 75-80%of the total number of structural spinal curvies, mainly adolescent girls. The special spine bending is divided into age: infant type 0-3 years old, children 4-9 years old, and adolescents 10-18 years old. Among them, adolescents are the most common, accounting for 70-90%of the special spinal curve, which is what we need to focus on.

Other types of spine bending include congenital spine bending, neuromuscular spine side bending, and syndrome -type spinal curve.

The most common etiology of specialty spine bending is unclear. At present, studies have believed that it may be related to genetic, nerve, hormones, bones, muscles, and posture habits.

Question 2: Do I need surgery for spinal curve?

Adolescent spinal curvies with less than 40 ° of bending angle (COBB angle) generally do not need to perform surgical treatment immediately. The clinicians can be comprehensively evaluated, intervention plans, and regular follow -up. The bones have not yet matured, that is, the possibility of adolescent bending in adolescence is more likely, and it needs to be paid attention to and follow -up.

Focus on: For adolescent spinal bending, early discovery and early intervention, control the progress of the side bending to avoid surgery.

Question 3: How do you know if your child has a spine bending?

Scoliosis screening has been incorporated into the regular medical examination of students in our city. If the parents are told that the child may have spine -side bending, they should take their children to the hospital to take a standing spine X -ray film for diagnosis or exclusion.

If parents suspect that the child may have spine bending in daily contact, you can check themselves first. If necessary, you can go to the hospital for confirmation or exclusion.

Question 4: How should children avoid spinal curve?

The cause of the spine bending is not completely clear. We must not only discover as early as possible through regular screening, but also cultivate a good lifestyle and conduct comprehensive prevention and control.

6

Do not place TV such as TV rooms such as children's bedrooms.

School can do this

1

Carry out students 'spine bending abnormal prevention and control related health education courses, activities and knowledge lectures, enhance the health literacy of teachers and students, and improve the awareness of students' self -spine.

2

Carry out the screening of the annual children's spine bending abnormalities, and incorporate the results of spine bending abnormal screening into student health files.

3

Reduce students' academic burden, and organize teaching activities in accordance with national curriculum schemes and curriculum standards.

4
