Causes of scoliosis in children

Children with scoliosis often carry heavy deflection on one side, children have to work too hard early, children sit in school or activities are not correct posture . When children have scoliosis, the ability to recover is difficult, The treatment needs to be persistent, scientific and takes a long time.

High school age sickness has an increasing tendency to worry parents. More worrisome to know that, the main cause of illness for children comes from studying at school. In particular, nearsightedness has increased to the point where it can be said " to go to school . to take a bottle ". However, recent research also found other diseases such as shoulder deflection, scoliosis.

The results of the investigation show that in Hai Phong, there are 4.88% of the total number of students with scoliosis. In-depth analysis from this data has additional results: The proportion of students with scoliosis in the inner city increases with the level of education; The number of children with scoliosis in the suburbs and islands is always higher than in the urban area on all comparative criteria.

According to specialist doctors, educational scientists, the following factors are the reasons for causing scoliosis: because children are carrying heavy deflection to one side, children must work too early, Children sitting in school or living in wrong positions, tables, chairs and lighting do not meet the standards for children when studying at school as well as at home.

Unfortunately, for many years, the education sector in the whole country and in Hai Phong in particular, has hardly any place to really care about the possibilities of adversely affecting the health of students. Many pressure on education and high-intensity labor weighs on the shoulders of young children but has not been recognized, evaluated and analyzed by scientific, mental and physiological perspective.

Up to now, when the country has constantly developed, education in schools has begun to approach with scientific perspectives, we have not yet built a so-called " school style " for children. Therefore, the bad habits in school and at home have not been manipulated, or unknown to adjust.

The disease goes from not to yes, from less to more. And only preliminary survey has nearly 5% of students with scoliosis. Without timely adjustments, this number will increase rapidly.

It is worrisome to know that, bending the spine as the axis of the skeletal system changes, affecting the health, learning ability, labor and for the girls also deviate the pelvis, affecting health reproduce later.

In the long term, it is hereditary, bad influence on . breeds. On the other hand, scoliosis progresses silently, lasting for many years and is dominated by many factors and risks. When it is difficult to recover, the treatment needs to be persistent, scientific and takes a long time. Especially the adjustment of deeply infected habits into the daily behavior of each student.

Behavior change when not late

From this experimental discovery, Hai Phong Medical University in collaboration with the Department of Education and Training and the Department of Health has determined to conduct research and develop the topic "Current situation and risk factors for scoliosis. - Preventive measures to restore spinal function for students in Hai Phong ".

Due to the pressing nature and social meaning, this topic was quickly accepted by the City Science Council. This may be a topic that has come from Hai Phong which is very welcome and worth spreading across the country.

Considering from the solutions given by the topic, the remedy only stops at the experimental science, taking behavioral behavior, taking the compulsory regulations to change habits. For example: proper tables, chairs, seats for learning enough light, not carrying heavy loads, exercising regularly and regularly .

However, as mentioned, this is not easy because the habit is the most difficult thing to change if it is only done in the way of illustrating the topic and the topic is just a scientific research project far from life. Therefore, the process of implementing the topic, suggesting the authors should continue to prove by scientific reason why the change of school behavior must be done like this without doing so.

In addition, the education sector, schools, parents also need to change their awareness immediately, focusing more on investing in qualified facilities in schools, in the family to providing them with the best and most scientific learning conditions without affecting the general health and spine in particular. Do not let children today . "old man" tomorrow
