Despite medical advances, scoliosis, which is a curvature in the thoracic spine, has been diagnosed more frequently among people of all ages. It is particularly sad to see so many children among orthopedists.




Due to a sedentary lifestyle, excessive stress on the spinal column and other unfavorable factors, scoliosis can develop in adulthood.


The treatment of spinal curvature is complicated and takes a long time. Prevention will help prevent this disease and maintain correct posture for life. Patients who have already been diagnosed with the disease are welcome to visit the Kiev-based medical diagnostic center Meddiagnostika. Experienced specialists such as surgeons, neuropathologists, orthopedists and therapists handle the reception.


Causes and consequences of childhood scoliosis

The child's spine, which has not yet been strengthened, instantly reacts to all factors, the presence of which can provoke its curvature:


Sedentary lifestyle

Too soft bed

being in the wrong posture for a long time, which is facilitated by sitting at the computer;

You can also practice weightlifting and other sports.

Furniture for homework that has been incorrectly chosen

ignoring daily gymnastics;

genetic predisposition.

Individually or collectively, these factors cause grade 1 to 4 scoliosis. Scoliosis in children is not only about poor posture. The irregular shape of the spine leads to dysfunction of the organs of the thoracic region.


Childhood scoliosis may lead to serious heart and lungs problems.


Prevention of scoliosis among children

Preventing scoliotic posture in children starts even before they are born. The expectant mother should eat right, avoid overwork, lead an active lifestyle and perform daily exercises, the complex of which will be made by a doctor who is observing the pregnant woman.


From the first birthday, the baby must move. For five minutes, you can repeat simple exercises for newborns several times per day.

You can not sit a baby until he can sit by himself, without support. If the baby independently assumes a sitting position, it means that his spine is already sufficiently formed for this.

The newborn needs daily walks in the fresh air, during which he receives vitamin D, which is involved in the formation of the musculoskeletal system.

The baby's crib must have an orthopedic mattress. A pillow is not necessary for newborns. Older children should have it, but low.

Parents are responsible for reminding their child to straighten his spine if he slouches.

The workplace of the student is equipped taking into account the growth of the student. The height of the seat should be such that the child's feet rest on the floor or on a special support under the table. The table and chair must match each other in terms of height.

For going to school, it is better to purchase a satchel with two straps, rather than a briefcase.

Doing homework should be alternated with rest and light exercise.


Prevention of spinal curvature for adults

In order to avoid scoliosis with its consequences, adults are recommended a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, moderate but not excessive exercise. Breaks during sedentary work require that a person do light gymnastics, or simply walk. Comfort should be a priority in the workplace. Sitting in a bad position can lead to scoliosis or early osteochondrosis.


The diet of an adult should contain fruits, vegetables, and other foods rich in vitamins and microelements. It is important to get out in the fresh air each day, and that you sleep on an orthopedic mattress.


At the first sign of scoliosis or spinal pain, make an appointment with your doctor immediately.
