If the patient humps for a long time, it will lead to the change of the normal physiological curvature of the spine, resulting in mechanical instability, which will easily induce degeneration of the neck, chest and lumbar spine. When the patient hunches, the cervical spine is in a forward flexion position, and the physiological curvature of the lumbar spine disappears, which is prone to cervical spondylosis and lumbar spondylosis.
Extended data:
Postural hunchback caused by poor posture is more common in teenagers; Paralytic hunchback is the weakness of trunk muscles caused by some disease; Compensatory hunchback is usually secondary to excessive lumbar lordosis. These humpbacks are characterized by soft backs, which can correct deformities through activities, and X-rays have no epiphysis changes.
Mainly conservative treatment, patients should lie on the hard bed, stretch their chest and back as much as possible when standing and sitting, and maintain a good posture. Avoid excessive bending or weight-bearing activities, strengthen back muscle exercise and limit the aggravation of hunchback.
