Scoliosis is a disease that affects the physical and mental health of young people. According to domestic and foreign studies, the incidence rate is about 2％ There are currently more than 300 million adolescents in China. According to the incidence of scoliosis, there are approximately one million adolescent patients in my country.

　　Beautiful figure, straight body Posture is something everyone wants, but because many parents lack understanding of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, and the shortage of professional doctors in underdeveloped areas, children with scoliosis have difficulty getting early treatment (such as through orthotics Correction), and finally let the condition develop to the point where it can only be treated by surgery.

　　 I remember that a patient with scoliosis once told me that the problem that scoliosis caused her was not just a deformed appearance; it was not only a dysplastic cardiopulmonary function; even a sip She feels that she needs to turn a corner in the esophagus to run off-her thoracic spine and thorax are severely deformed, so even the esophagus is twisted.

　　In orthopedics clinics, the incidence of scoliosis in women is much higher than that in men. There are many reasons for scoliosis, Including congenital, hereditary, neuromuscular and idiopathic, most of them are characterized by different lengths of lower limbs, different shoulder heights, and so on. Other causes of scoliosis include cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, spinal muscle atrophy and tumors. Scoliosis cases over 80％ are idiopathic, meaning the cause is unknown.

　　The key to the treatment of scoliosis is early detection and early treatment, but according to my experience, many patients with scoliosis find the disease at a very young age, but due to the town hospital and county hospital After seeing the doctor, the doctor said that it could not be cured, and he felt that the disease was "untreated", and he had been delayed for a long time. Although he knew he could cure it in adulthood, he lost the best chance of treatment. In fact, it is really difficult to treat scoliosis, especially the relatively stiff scoliosis. In some provinces and cities, there is still a medical gap, and patients are concentrated in hospitals such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Nanjing.

　　Spine scoliosis poses the greatest threat to the patient, seriously affecting the patient’s cardiopulmonary function until the life span of the patient is shortened. Therefore, from a health point of view, if you have scoliosis, you must find a specialist to see the doctor, so as not to delay the condition.
