Why is spinal health important for growing children?
Spinal health in childhood and adolescence affects body balance and posture throughout life.
Not maintaining proper posture and body shape can lead to a variety of problems as you grow.
- Forward head posture, scoliosis, and pelvic imbalance can worsen as children grow.
- It's likely to lead to poor academic focus, chronic pain, and stunted growth.
- Initially, the pain is absent or minimal and is easily overlooked by both parents and children.
- It can adversely affect the growth plate, which can negatively affect height growth.
📊 Spinal misalignments are on the rise
According to the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service, 4 out of 10 scoliosis patients are adolescents (ages 10–19), and 80–85% of all scoliosis cases are first detected during this period.
However, due to the lack of early diagnosis, many people do not seek medical attention until they are adults and in pain.
🚨 Why You Should Get Regular Body Measurements
Children grow quickly, so it's important to identify and correct spinal deformities early.
However, it's difficult to analyze spinal health and body imbalances with a standard physical exam.
💡 If you have any of these symptoms, you need a Body Type Check!
✔️ When the child is sitting, one shoulder appears to be tilted.
✔️ You have an awkward gait, or one side of your shoe is unusually worn.
✔️ Sitting at a desk for long periods of time can cause back and neck strain.
✔️ Your child has a habit of sitting cross-legged or leaning to one side.
✔️ Difficulty concentrating in school and frequent headaches or fatigue
