When a person is standing upright, the spine should be straight and straight without side bending from the front and back. Once the
nucleus pulposus protrudes, the spine will bend sideways in appearance. If the child with lateral
deformity is not treated, the spine will be shaped when he grows up, and spinal pain will occur In addition, lateral
deformity can also cause children to have high and low shoulders and low growth, which affects the appearance; kyphoscoliosis is a common cause of
paraplegia. , parents can clearly see that they hope that parents and schools will pay more attention and take relevant protective measures for their children and students
[0005] Misunderstanding of
scoliosis prevention and treatment: Parents are lucky and think that the child will be fine when he grows up. Mild curvature is not a problem and can be observed. It is serious Going to treatment to a certain extent delays the best period of treatment and causes a lifetime of pain. Most
scoliosis patients are concentrated in the age group of 10 to 14 years old. They are not easy to detect when they are usually wearing clothes, and they develop very quickly. Time bending will increase by 5 degrees to 10 degrees. Moreover, the best time to treat
scoliosis is before the bones mature. The earlier the treatment, the better the effect; it is believed that without treatment, the scoliosis will not develop after adulthood. After the curvature enters adulthood, 65% to 75% of patients still progress, especially when the bone matures and the curvature is above 30°. The most likely to progress is the thoracic curve of 50° to 80°, which can progress by 0.75° to 1° per year. The progression of
lumbar curvature is more obvious than that of thoracic curvature, and junctional
kyphosis may appear between the upper and lower curves; the misunderstanding of medical institutions, many doctors now do not understand the treatment of scoliosis, and always say to do it after adulthood
Surgery results in delayed timing and delayed patients. In addition, scoliosis
surgery is difficult and risky. Many hospitals prefer
conservative treatment, so you have to go to a specialized hospital to see a specialist doctor; you can't correctly
handle the relationship between study, work and treatment. , Most scoliosis patients are in the stage of elementary and high school education, learning is tense, and there is a contradiction between continuing to go to school or suspending school for
medical treatment, and many parents just choose the former, and some are still hesitant. In fact, these practices And the performance is extremely wrong. The reason is very simple.
Scoliosis is a
chronic disease, and it is difficult to treat. If it is not treated in time, it will be very harmful. Learning is important, but it can be done a year early or a year late. , and the treatment of this kind of
disease is very different if treated one year earlier and one year later. If scoliosis develops, becomes serious, and loses health, no matter how high your education and ability are, you will be affected by your physical condition. Obstacles, and it will be difficult to display talents and live like
normal people in the future when entering society; it is believed that the straighter the scoliosis is corrected, the better. The purpose of scoliosis treatment is to restore the balance of the spine, control the development of deformities, and then correct the deformities The probability of getting to zero is not too high. If you blindly demand to increase the correction rate, the incidence of complications such as nerve damage will be greatly increased. Most patients and their families hope to be treated to zero. This feeling is understandable, but we must face it squarely. Recognizing the particularity of this
disease, treating the
disease is not a cure;
surgery is risky and easily damages the nerves. Any
surgery is traumatic to the body, so there are risks. For diseases that can only be treated by surgery, surgery is the To use certain trauma in exchange for
disease treatment, consider whether it is beneficial or harmful.
Scoliosis surgery involves the
spinal cord and nerves, and the risk is greater than that of
general surgery. However, there are wake-up experiments in modern scoliosis treatment.
Evoked potential monitoring of spinal nerves greatly reduces the risk of surgery. Therefore, those ideas and practices that
delay surgical treatment due to excessive worry about surgical risks are not advisable; In addition to cultivating good learning and living habits from an early age, parents should prevent, detect, and correct in time to prevent the possibility of scoliosis and
kyphosis. After school, it is correct to help children choose suitable school bags or backpacks. preventive measures, long-term stability
