First of all, we should analyze the causes of hunchback. Different people and different age groups may have different reasons for hunchback. There are two common reasons for adolescent hunchback, which may be postural or caused by long-term bad posture. The shoulders are not the same height. For this kind of people, through education and wearing assistive devices, they can be corrected in a friendly way and the hunchback can be corrected into a normal structure. Another kind of people may change their bone structure because of congenital developmental problems or other special diseases. This group of people may not be significantly improved simply by posture correction and wearing appliances, and may turn to surgical correction, that is, scoliosis correction. For teenagers, these two reasons are the most common, but for the elderly, hunchback may also occur. For example, some old people will measure 1.7 meters this year and 1.65 meters next year. The most common cause is osteoporosis. Therefore, for osteoporosis and hunchback in the elderly, it is necessary to do a whole body bone mineral density examination to determine whether medication is needed.
There are two kinds of humpback, one is incurable and the other is severe scoliosis. Scoliosis can be divided into idiopathic scoliosis and secondary scoliosis. Idiopathic scoliosis occurs at an early age because of developmental reasons. Secondary scoliosis is caused by lumbar disc herniation. Another kind of humpback refers to habitual humpback, also called round back. Tall patients like to hunch over their chests when they are sitting or standing. When he lies flat on the bed, he will find his back humped and round. For this kind of patients, if the child's posture of sitting, standing and lying is not good, his back will be fine. If you are an adult, you can do manual therapy, mainly to develop a good sitting posture and walking posture.
