What to do if your child has a backache

Parents are often worried when their children have hunchbacks. Hunchbacks have a great impact on children's growth and development. If the hunchback is not particularly obvious, parents must urge their children to develop good work and rest habits, and develop good standing and walking postures. After all, children are young and their bones are relatively soft. If not corrected in time, the child may develop a serious hunchback.

What to do if your child has a backache

1. Explain to your child the harm of hunchback and let him/her consciously straighten his/her chest and tighten his/her stomach. Parents should promptly explain to their children the harm of hunchback, telling them that hunchback not only looks unsightly, but also affects future education and work, and in severe cases can cause physical disability. Let your child consciously keep his chest up and abdomen in.

2. Pay attention to your standing and walking posture, and take time to stand against the wall for half an hour every day. Children should pay more attention to their standing and walking postures. When walking, their shoulders should be kept level, not with one side higher than the other. Pay attention to your sitting posture when doing homework or reading, and the time should not exceed one hour. Take time every day to stand against a wall for half an hour. If you can't hold on, take a break for a few minutes before continuing.

3. Supplement calcium in time and get more sun exposure. Children may develop hunchback symptoms due to lack of calcium in the body. Children's physical development is at its peak. If nutrition cannot keep up with calcium deficiency, their bones will easily soften and they will become hunchbacked. Therefore, it is necessary to give children calcium supplements in time and let them get more sun exposure.

4. Participate in more sports activities. Children have a lot of schoolwork every day, but they can’t always sit and study. If they sit in the same position for too long, they will develop a hunchback even if they are very careful. Children should be encouraged to participate in more physical activities and do chest expansion exercises for half an hour every day.

5. Use a hard bed for sleeping. Before your child reaches adulthood, do not let him or her sleep on soft mattresses used by adults. Even a hard Simmons mattress is not suitable for children. Children can only sleep on a hard bed to effectively prevent and treat hunchback.

6. Go to the hospital for a check-up to see if you have any spinal deformity and receive timely treatment. If a child has an obvious hunchback, in addition to paying special attention to living habits and physical exercise, parents should take the child to the hospital for a check-up to see if the child has spinal deformity or diseases such as rickets. The hunchback problem should be treated in a timely manner under the guidance of a doctor and should not be delayed.
