Do you know what methods you can use to self check for scoliosis?

If scoliosis is suspected, the patient can lean forward to observe whether his back is tilted, if the above abnormalities are found, it is recommended to go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time to make a clear diagnosis. I have the following thoughts on this:

1. What are the hazards and effects of spinal curvature?

Spine curvature first affects a person's overall appearance, sometimes we will find that tall boys always lean forward when walking, and then the two shoulders are not the same height, and secondly, the curvature of the spine will affect the development of bones, and if you do not develop good habits, it will cause spinal curvature, which will cause hunchback, if it is particularly serious, it will compress the organs in the body, and especially serious will compress the nerves, resulting in abnormal nerve function.

2. What is scoliosis?

Scoliosis refers to a spinal deformity in which one or more segments of the spine are curved sideways or accompanied by vertebral rotation, and the spine is more curvature in adolescents. Due to improper body posture, such as improper sitting posture, long-term bias to one side, habitual use of one side of the burden and other reasons, the first type of scoliosis is diverse, its pathogenesis is not clear, its occurrence is related to the patient's age, neuromuscular function, bone development, trauma and genetic factors, etc., generally believed to be caused by systemic or local comprehensive factors.

3. What should we do to prevent spinal curvature?

Light diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, usually eat whole grains and calcium-containing foods appropriately, such as green leafy vegetables, kelp, oats, soybeans, tofu and eggs, supplement calcium and vitamins before going to bed, pay attention to strengthening nutrition, enhance physical fitness, maintain a good sitting posture when writing homework, read books, maintain a good lifestyle and functional exercises are helpful to the prevention of scoliosis.

I know these methods can self-check for scoliosis:1First stand the upper body upright, then flex the elbow joint 90 degrees, and then look at the height of the elbow joint from the back of the body to see if it is consistent, if it is inconsistent, it may be that the spine is offset; 2.

Ink-type self-examination, first apply the spine with washing ink, then paste a large piece of white paper on the wall, then keep the lower limbs together and stand upright, then slowly retreat, and paste the back on the white paper on the wall, it will rub an imprint, and finally observe whether there are traces of scoliosis.

When walking, it can be seen that when you walk, if you are in a head-high posture, it means that your spine is normal, on the contrary, if you walk unsteadily or your spine bends downward, then you are scoliosis and need to go to the hospital in time**.

Knowing these asanas may be self-examining for scoliosis. First stand the upper body of the body upright, then flex the elbow joint, and then look at the height of the elbow joint from the back of the body to see if it is consistent, if it is inconsistent, it is a deviation of the spine; Ink-type self-examination, first put the spine with water.

1. Relax your body and lean against the wall to see if you can stick to the wall, 2. Look through the mirror to see if your shoulders are parallel 3. Lean forward to see if your back is tilted.

Some children may be accustomed to tilting their heads to watch TV in daily life, and their attention is also very inattentive, if the child often feels neck and back pain, it is also possible to suffer from scoliosis, in daily life, we must let the child develop good habits, do not let the child play with the head down for a long time, correct the child's sitting posture, do not give the child too heavy a school bag.

If you have an uneven neckline after putting on your clothes, one shoulder is always higher than the other, and you usually tilt your body to one side, you can check yourself. After standard sitting, there is pleated flesh on one side of the waist and not on the other.

With the standing position, whether the shoulders are on a horizontal line or not, and if they are at a horizontal line, there is no problem. Otherwise, it's scoliosis. After scoliosis occurs, you must strengthen the exercise to achieve reduction, and you can't sit for a long time.

Forward flexion test test. You can put your feet together, fold your hands flat on your chest, bend over 90 degrees, and use your phone to take a timed shot to see if your spine is curved.

1. Stand upright and observe your shoulders.

If you want to know if you have scoliosis, you can stand under a full-length mirror, stand upright, and observe whether your shoulders are high and low. In the process of observation, do not exert force on your shoulders, relax fully, and do not consciously shrug your shoulders.

2. Observe whether your pelvis is tilted.

Or under the full-length mirror, take off your shirt and pants, and observe whether your pelvis is tilted. If there is a slight tilt, it may be caused by scoliosis. The more severe the incline, the more severe the scoliosis.

3. See if there is a bulge in the back.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands folded. Ask a family member or friend to look at your back from behind to see if there are any asymmetrical bulges on your back. If the asymmetrical bulge is very obvious, you can fully suspect that you have scoliosis.

This is a deformity called "razorback" and is a manifestation of scoliosis.

4. Go to the hospital to take a film.

Of course, if you want to know if you are a real scoliosis, going to the hospital to take a ** can show it more intuitively, which is also a necessary process for diagnosing scoliosis. If, after the stub**, an anteroposterior x-ray shows a lateral curvature of the spine of more than 10 degrees, scoliosis can be diagnosed.

Scoliosis will not only affect a person's appearance, but also affect the function of multiple systems in the body. Mild scoliosis can be observed conservatively**, and severe ones require surgery**, and medical treatment should not be avoided.

How to identify whether the spine is scoliosis, many parents are busy with work and other trivial matters because of the needs of life, so they ignore the importance of their children's body, including the symptoms of scoliosis that are very common now, many parents do not know, so I will share with you how to identify whether the spine is scoliosis?

How to identify if your child has scoliosis

For the child's physical health, parents must pay more attention to it at ordinary times, in addition to finding the child's physical symptoms in time, parents should also regularly check the child's body shape, some symptoms of scoliosis in the early stage are not obvious, so parents should find it in time and correct it in time.

Scoliosis usually occurs in the cervical, thoracic, or chest and lumbar spine'The spine can also occur alone in the lower back. Scoliosis appear on one side of the spine and are "C" shaped; or bilaterally, in an "S" shape. It reduces the volume of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis, and also reduces height.

Early diagnosis is very important for the early stage of scoliosis, so in addition to the screening of primary and secondary school students, parents also need to pay attention to their children's spinal health at all times. Orthopaedic specialists offer parents the following two ways to check for scoliosis in their child.

1. Ask the children to bend forward and observe from behind whether the two sides of the back are symmetrical, and whether there is a bulge on one side and a depression on the other. If a problem is suspected, further chiropractic examination is required.

2. Use a plumb line to place the most prominent bone neck at the back of the neck (seventh cervical vertebrae), and observe the difference between the plumb line and the spine from behind.

Generally speaking, the angle of scoliosis is less than 20 degrees is mild, between 20 degrees and 45 degrees is moderate, and more than 45 degrees is severe. Moderate to mild patients should receive precise spinal adjustment, combined with posture correction and exercise**. Severe cases may require surgery**.

Parents are advised to pay more attention to their children's posture

Although most scoliosis does not know what the cause is, early detection and early detection can achieve effective prevention. At the same time, it is recommended that parents should pay more attention to their children's posture, and at the same time advise young boys and girls in the development period to exercise more and walk with their heads up and chest up, in order to maintain a good posture. I hope you can pay more attention in your daily life, after all, the body is the capital of the revolution, pay more attention to it and take precautions in advance, so that you can keep the disease away from you.
