Spinal curvature can be divided into congenital spinal curvature, acquired spinal curvature and idiopathic spinal curvature. Congenital spinal curvature refers to the abnormality of spinal structure, that is, after birth, there are triangular semi-vertebrae, butterfly vertebrae, fusion vertebrae and abnormal rib development, which leads to the inclination of the spine, resulting in scoliosis or kyphosis. It is rare in clinic and needs surgical correction. So, what is the cause of acquired spinal curvature? With these questions, we visited some experts in orthopedic hospitals. Etiology of acquired spinal curvature: 1. Osteoporotic spinal curvature: Osteoporotic vertebrae are deformed, so that the intervertebral space is not wide, which will cause spinal curvature. 2, dystrophic spinal curvature: children with rickets due to vitamin D deficiency can also have spinal curvature. 3, postural and functional spinal curvature: often caused by an incorrect posture, often found in school-age children. This kind of spinal curvature deformity is not serious, when the patient lies flat or hangs on the horizontal bar with both hands. Deformities can disappear automatically. 4, neuropathic spinal curvature: due to poliomyelitis, neurofibroma, syringomyelia, cerebral palsy and other muscle tension imbalance. The younger the patient's onset age, the more serious the bending deformity is. 5. Pathological spinal curvature of the chest: Suffering from purulent or tuberculous pleurisy in childhood, suffering from excessive thickening of costal pleura and contracture; Or performing thoracoplasty in childhood, disrupting the balance of the spine during development. Can cause spinal curvature. The above content is about how to correct spinal curvature, and I hope it will help you.
