Due to the rapid growth of adolescence and the continuous improvement of height, hunchback often occurs, resulting in unsightly appearance and even pain. Generally speaking, the common causes of hunchback can be divided into two categories: the first category is the problem of skeletal system, and scoliosis due to unknown reasons is the most common. Clinically, we can see that the shoulders on both sides are unequal in height, especially when bending over, complicated with hunchback. Ankylosing spondylitis is also the cause of humpback that cannot be ignored when teenagers are young. It often happens to young people. Clinically, there are phenomena such as stiff spine, inability to bend over and long-term back pain, such as spinal fracture, congenital hunchback, spinal infection and deformation. , may cause hunchback. The second category is poor posture for a long time, which is the main reason for hunchback. Often due to poor posture or long-term lack of exercise, hunchback is formed due to improper exertion or back muscle weakness.

Treatment varies according to illness. In principle, it is recommended to go to rehabilitation department or orthopedic clinic for detailed examination, correct diagnosis and then symptomatic treatment in order to correct hunchback.

For example, the diagnosis of scoliosis, in addition to paying attention to the length? In addition, it should be handled according to the bending angle. Generally speaking, if the bending angle is below 20 degrees after X-ray examination in adolescence, you only need to receive back rehabilitation exercise guidance and half a year's follow-up. One X-ray is enough.

Cardiopulmonary insufficiency does not occur between 20-40 degrees, and spinal correction surgery is recommended.

If ankylosing spondylitis is diagnosed, besides active drug treatment, it is recommended to accept hydrotherapy, chest expansion exercise and; Department exercise therapy and so on. And swim as much as possible to reduce hunchback.

If hunchback is caused by bad posture, it is necessary to correct bad habits and incorrect posture, such as adjusting the desk to a suitable height, not too low; Walk with your head held high, keep regular exercise, pay special attention to back muscle training, such as swimming; Stand against the wall 10 to 20 minutes every day to do flat back exercises to improve hunchback posture.

If there is still no obvious effect, you can consider using the eight-character shoulder strap or humpback correction belt to remind yourself to maintain the correct posture.
