Scoliosis has been included in the physical examination of students. More than 5 million students suffer from scoliosis.

According to the survey, it is estimated that more than 5 million primary and middle school students in China suffer from scoliosis. Last year, the National Health Commission requested that screening items be included in students' physical examination, and the screening results should be recorded in health records. 1 Check whether there is scoliosis: put your feet together, put your toes on the ground, bend over 90 degrees, and observe whether the height of both sides of your back is equal.

What does scoliosis mean? Scoliosis, also known as scoliosis, is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine, including coronal, sagittal and axial sequence abnormalities. The spine of a normal person should be a straight line from the back, and both sides of the trunk are symmetrical. Scoliosis should be suspected if the shoulders are unequal in height from the front or the back is uneven. At this time, it is necessary to make a full-length term of the spine to judge. If the spine inclines to one side more than 10, scoliosis can be diagnosed.

Mild scoliosis usually has no obvious clinical symptoms and no obvious deformity in appearance. Severe scoliosis will affect the growth and development of infants and adolescents, deform the body, seriously affect the cardiopulmonary function, involve the spinal cord, and even cause paralysis. Mild scoliosis can be observed, and the next development can be observed through follow-up. Severe scoliosis requires surgical treatment. Adolescent scoliosis is a common disease that harms adolescents and children. The key is early detection, early treatment and early prevention.
