When the spine balance collapses, the spine deforms, causing physical imbalance.
A typical disease of spinal deformity is scoliosis. It is a disease in which the spine bends to one side, not in a straight line when viewed from the front and back and forth. Rotational deformation of the spine and, in severe cases, the shape of the spine is deformed into an S or C shape.
Scoliosis can occur in adults as well as adolescents. It is known that adolescents have a high incidence of scoliosis because their spine grows faster and is not harder than adults.
Since scoliosis causes pain, experts say active treatment is important because it can interfere with studies due to poor concentration.
If you have scoliosis, deformations such as different shoulder heights, bent spine, disproportionately protruding scapula, or protruding chest or buttocks are observed. Scoliosis is difficult to be aware of because there are few initial symptoms, so it is easy to leave it unattended," adding, "In particular, scoliosis that occurs in adolescence is an accidental occurrence without cause, so you should carefully observe your child's physical condition.
Missing the timing of scoliosis treatment not only affects growth development, but also can cause problems in cardiopulmonary function by reducing concentration and compressing the heart and lungs in severe cases. In addition, body balance imbalance can lead to other diseases.
When spinal measurement begins in adolescence, it progresses rapidly between one to two years. In the early days when the angle of the side is not severe, symptoms can be improved through various non-surgical treatments such as manual therapy, in vitro shock waves, and physical therapy.
In addition, as poor posture is the biggest cause, efforts to maintain the correct posture are needed. In addition, we should have a habit of protecting spinal health by strengthening muscles and ligaments around your spine through light stretching and exercise.
