What to do if a young person has hunchback

If your friends have hunchbacks, they can receive corrective treatment in a timely manner. Generally speaking, teenagers have hunchbacks because of bad living habits. For example, some young people may always keep their heads down when walking, or always bend over when reading or writing, which can easily lead to hunchback. If hunchback is not actively corrected when a child is young, it will become more difficult to correct it when he grows up.

Hands on the wall to press the chest and waist: stand one step away from the wall, raise your arms, hold the wall, move your upper body forward as much as possible, straighten your chest, bend your waist, do not move your feet forward, keep your chest against the wall, hold for 4 beats and then return to the starting position. This exercise should be practiced regularly so that children can gradually form a posture of straightening their chest and back. 2. Hands on the back to straighten the chest: stand with your legs apart, cross your hands behind your body and clench your fingers, then lock your shoulders and hips, raise your arms to the highest position, straighten your chest and waist, and then return to the starting position. 2 beats and 1 movement, do 16 times. 3. Chest expansion exercise: stand with your legs apart, raise your arms horizontally in front of you, then open your arms to the side to expand your chest, and then return to the starting position. Repeat this exercise 16 to 20 times. It is required that the speed of expanding the chest backwards should be fast and with a certain amount of strength. When expanding the chest, raise your head, straighten your chest, and tighten your abdomen.

This disease is mainly treated conservatively. Once the condition is diagnosed, the patient should be advised to lie on a hard bed and stretch the chest and back as much as possible when standing or sitting, and maintain a good posture. Avoid excessive bending or weight-bearing activities, and strengthen the back muscles at the same time, hoping to limit the aggravation of kyphosis by strengthening the back muscles. For patients with more obvious pain, Chinese medicine with antispasmodic, analgesic and meridian-dredging properties can be used to relieve symptoms. If the thoracic kyphosis is large, exceeding 50°, a brace or plaster can be used to correct the deformity as much as possible. When using passive fixation to correct deformities, close attention should be paid to its complications, such as soft tissue injury, overcorrection, concurrent scoliosis, etc. The duration of use of a brace or plaster fixation should not be less than 1 year.

The hunchback correction methods introduced above are not particularly difficult to operate and can be performed under the guidance of a doctor. Of course, after learning these correction methods by yourself, adults can supervise their children to correct these hunchbacks when they return home. It should be noted here that since children do not have strong self-control, they may not be able to persist in correcting hunchbacks. At this time, the role of adult supervision is very crucial.
