Stop just 'keeping your back straight'! The correct sitting posture is like this, many people do not know
Good man, why did he bend?
normal spine
It should be a straight line in the upright position
From the lateral view, it is a curve with a physiological arc
However, if the spine has a lateral curvature of more than 10°
Your spine may be curved
the spine of such patients
Usually C-shaped or S-shaped
Some people may also accompany
Humpback, pelvic tilt, unequal shoulders, uneven back,
Problems such as unequal legs, leaning and twisting of the body, abnormal gait, etc.
That is to say
just walk on the street
You may encounter a "bend in the rivers and lakes"
So here comes the problem
What makes you a "bend"
① Congenital:
One is that it does not develop well in Mommy's belly
(eg hemivertebral deformity)
Second, certain genetic diseases cause scoliosis
Scoliosis is usually not inherited
But some family genetic diseases
may cause scoliosis
②Acquired:
certain inflammatory stimuli
such as ankylosing spondylitis, spinal fractures, spinal tuberculosis
or chest surgery such as empyema and thoracolasty
can also cause scoliosis
certainly
The easiest and easiest way to make young people "bend"
these bad habits
you are comfortable
But the muscle cells suffer
especially in adolescence
due to prolonged incorrect
Standing, walking, sitting, writing posture
the spine is not well rested
It is easy to cause fatigue and damage to the back muscles
Decreases the strength of the muscles on both sides of the fixed spine
Coupled with the rapid growth of the spine during adolescence
It exacerbates the abnormal bending
What are the consequences of "bending"?
The spine is the "load-bearing wall" of the human body
While doing multiple jobs
Also attached to the important central nervous system
Once this balance is disrupted
The consequences will be very serious
Physiologically:
Scoliosis damages spinal function
Causes muscle imbalance on both sides
prone to lower back pain
For teenagers
also seriously affect physical development
As the condition worsens
Nerve damage, shortness of breath, etc. may also occur
Also presses the internal organs
weakened cardiopulmonary function
even heart failure
also
severe scoliosis
and people with neurodevelopmental abnormalities in the spinal canal themselves
Its scoliosis is developing
May stretch or squeeze spinal nerves
cause paralysis
Psychologically:
Physical deformities caused by scoliosis
easy to make teenagers have
Low self-esteem, fear, and even autism
Fear of working and socializing in adulthood
affect normal life
A small method for self-testing scoliosis
"Bent" how to straighten?
The biggest point is
- early detection and early treatment
·Inspection means
Apart from physical observation
The most common test is
X-ray (whole spine radiograph) and CT
X-rays can detect the patient's
Side camber, position, presence or absence of rotation, etc.
CT scans can detect spinal cord malformations
·treatment method
There are more non-surgical treatments for scoliosis
Including physical therapy, plaster
and brace therapy, surface electrical stimulation, physical therapy, etc.
in
Bracing is the most effective treatment
The principle is to tailor the corrective brace for the patient
insist on wearing
Correct the curvature of the spine
but
Bracing therapy is more suitable for
Patients with an immature spine
such as children and adolescents
·Surgical correction
If life is seriously affected
Unsatisfactory results with conservative treatment
I might have to cut.
How can we prevent it in our daily life?
①The posture should be reasonable
Poor posture is one cause of scoliosis
For office workers and students who need to sit for a long time
You should straighten your back
maintain correct posture to study or work
Avoid these bad postures
②Scientific exercise
Proper exercise builds muscle strength
Improve physical function
prevent scoliosis
Such as stretching, aerobics, horizontal bar, swimming
These are all muscle strengthening
Exercises that increase joint flexibility
③ Reasonable weight bearing
Except the backpack should not be too heavy
Don't always be handsome with a one-sided backpack
Try to choose a backpack
Ensure that the weight is evenly loaded on both shoulders
When you need to carry some heavy objects
Also pay attention
Avoid bending over directly
Squat down as far as possible before picking up heavy objects
At last
Treatment of scoliosis
is a long process
Need to be patient with your own situation
while maintaining an optimistic attitude
Be especially confident in yourself
