Hunchback

　　The bones of adolescents have a higher proportion of organic matter, which makes them more flexible and pliable. If attention is not paid to the posture of sitting, standing, and walking, deformation is likely to occur, leading to hunchback. Another cause is the lack of physical exercise.

　　In general, the cause of hunchback may be due to a lack of calcium. A health check-up should be done to see the development of the whole body's bones, and appropriate tests should be conducted. If it is indeed due to a lack of calcium, calcium supplements and fish liver oil should be taken.

　　In the later stages of the disease, symptoms disappear, but the convex deformity of the thoracic vertebrae remains permanently. Late-stage changes in the bone and joint disease of the spine may occur. Compensatory anterior convexity of the waist may occur, and the deformity of the thoracic vertebrae may lead to osteoarthritis of the spine in the later stages. Treatment should be抓紧.

　　Early symptoms include back pain and discomfort, as well as a noticeable hardness. The pain is located in the middle line of the spine and is relatively mild, rarely severe. Discomfort worsens after fatigue, which can be relieved by rest. Later, the posterior convexity of the thoracic spine gradually increases, making it difficult to straighten. During examination, the back can be found to be arched backward in a circular shape, and both passive and active movements cannot change the convex deformation. The anterior convexity of the waist increases compensatorily, but the mobility of the waist is normal. In the later stages of the disease, symptoms disappear, but the convex deformity of the thoracic vertebrae remains permanently. Late-stage changes in the bone and joint disease of the spine may occur.

　　The key to preventing hunchback is during the adolescent period.

　　The bones of adolescents have a higher proportion of organic matter, which makes them more flexible and pliable. If attention is not paid to the posture of sitting, standing, and walking, deformation is likely to occur, leading to hunchback. Another cause of hunchback is the lack of physical exercise.

　　1. Pay attention to maintaining a proper posture. Whether standing, walking, or sitting, keep your chest naturally straight and your shoulders relaxed and backward. When sitting, keep your spine straight. Do not bend your neck too much when reading or writing, and avoid lying on the table. The saying 'stand like a pine tree, sit like a bell' is indeed true.

　　2. Adolescents in the stage of development are best to sleep on a hard bed to keep the spine straight during sleep.

　　3. Strengthen physical exercise. Take good sports classes seriously, do well in the class break exercises, and promote the development of muscle strength.

　　Examinations Required for Kyphosis:

　　X-ray Manifestations: The typical X-ray manifestations can be divided into 3 stages. In the early stage, the vertebral body becomes trapezoidal, with the front low and the back high, and the upper and lower epiphyses appear speckled changes, the upper and lower edges of the vertebral body are rough and uneven, the intervertebral space slightly narrows, in the middle stage, the epiphysis appears fragmentary, the normal shape of the upper and lower angles of the vertebral body in front is lost, and in the late stage, the epiphysis recovers the normal density, but the vertebral body presents a permanent trapezoidal deformation.

　　In some cases, Schmorl nodules appear, and there is a concave notch on the edge of the vertebral body on the X-ray film, and the vascular groove existing in front of the vertebral body is also one of the X-ray signs of the disease.

　　Youth Kyphosis Diet Therapy:

　　Remove the inner membrane of the eggshell, wash and fry it yellow, grind it into fine powder, take 3 grams each time, twice a day, and take it with boiling water.

　　Boil chicken bone into soup and consume regularly.

　　10 grams of cuttlefish bone, 12 grams of tortoise shell, 6 grams of rhizome of Rubia cordifolia, decocted with brown sugar for consumption. Take 2-3 times a day.

　　Dry and grind chicken bone into powder, take 1-2 grams after meals.

　　Dry and grind pork bone into powder, take 6-10 grams after meals.

　　Regularly consume pork bone soup.

　　1、Medical Brace: Suitable for mild kyphosis, using medical materials (such as plaster corsets, metal and plastic orthopedic braces) to fix the spine in the correct posture, also known as 'immobilization'. The effect is immediate, and the posture will be improved immediately, but it is very painful, and due to the restriction of movement, it is inevitable that muscle atrophy will occur. After removing the brace, it is difficult to maintain the effect, and in severe cases, it may even be worse than before using the brace. Currently, the most recognized as safe is the Back Back Ji.

　　2、Surgery: Surgical Methods. Mainly for adults with severe scoliosis deformities that have a serious impact on the patient's life (such as restricted pulmonary and cardiovascular function) and require surgery. The risk of surgery is high, and the postoperative mobility of the spine is also limited, and hospitals are cautious.
