How to correct spinal curvature?
The spine of human body is the central axis and pillar of trunk, and it is the hinge connecting lower limbs and upper limbs. It has the functions of supporting body weight, maintaining trunk balance, relieving vibration and protecting spinal cord and internal organs. The spine consists of 24 vertebrae, a basal bone and a coccyx. There are intervertebral cartilage and intervertebral disc between each vertebra. With the gravity of human activities, the spine gradually forms three physiological bends after birth, namely, cervical curvature, thoracic curvature and lumbar curvature. The neck bend and waist bend protrude forward, and the spine is "S" shaped when viewed from the side. Due to the reinforcement of ligaments around the spine and the traction and fixation of muscle groups in different directions, the spine is elastic and flexible.

With the increase of age, the elasticity and flexibility of the spine gradually decrease. Teenagers in 10- 16 age group are still in the process of development because of their rapid growth and development. Therefore, if you don't pay attention to reading and writing posture during this period, there will be excessive unilateral physical exertion and lack of comprehensive physical exercise, resulting in spinal deformation. The most common is that the spine bends to the left or right side (the shoulders are uneven and biased to one side during inspection) and the hunchback protrudes backward. Spinal deformation affects health, which will make the body out of balance, easy to fatigue, and sometimes there will be symptoms such as backache and backache. In some serious cases, it will also affect the development of respiratory organs and internal organs.

Abnormal spinal curvature in adolescents is generally postural instability, which can be restored to normal by correcting sitting posture, standing posture and walking posture within a few months. In order to prevent and correct the abnormal curvature of the spine, we should pay attention to cultivating good reading and writing posture. When reading and writing, our bodies should be straight and our shoulders should be flush. When standing, hold your chest and abdomen, don't twist your waist and shoulders, straighten your legs and put your weight on your feet; When walking, keep a correct standing posture, keep a proper pace, swing your arms naturally, and look straight ahead.

If the spine is abnormally curved, it should be corrected according to the nature and location of the curvature. For example, people with hunchbacks should pay attention to chest-lifting. People who bend to the left can lift their left upper arms and bend their bodies to the right, so that the muscle tension on both sides is gradually equal. Do more sports that are beneficial to the all-round development of the body, such as running, jumping, playing ball, swimming and mat exercises. , can strengthen the blood circulation of the whole body, so that local muscles can get adequate nutrition supply, which is of great benefit to prevent and correct spinal deformation.

Normal physical activities and daily radio exercises are good ways to prevent spinal curvature.

If it's just "a little crooked", you should always pay attention to yourself, sleep on a hard bed, use a low pillow, walk with your chest out and abdomen in, and if you have time to learn standard dance, these are all conducive to correcting physiological spinal curvature.

As for pathological spinal curvature, we have to go to the hospital. I don't think you are pathological, because there are no other symptoms.
