What to do when children have hunchback and scoliosis?

- Dr. PAUL D'ALFONSO , Director of Maple Healthcare Chiropractic Center, replied: Your child's problem is also a very common condition in many other children today. Due to the development of technology, young children today spend a lot of time on electronic devices. Children's spines are very susceptible to impact, sitting in the wrong posture for a long time will affect the health of the spine, leading to hunchback, turtle neck...

In your child's case, you should guide your child to change their sitting posture, place the table appropriately, not too high; use chairs and anti-hunchback pads for your child; make sure your child does not sit on the bed to study or use the phone or iPad too much.

The above suggestions will help minimize the negative impacts on the child's spine. However, it is best to take your child to see a specialist every 6 months for screening and treatment of spinal health. This will help reduce pressure on the spine and areas that do not move properly.

Kyphosis or turtle neck in children is very difficult to overcome if not treated early. The older the child's spine, the more difficult it is to adjust. Children over 15 years old will have a harder time changing posture than younger children. Therefore, it is very important to take children to see a doctor and have their spine screened early.
