Reasonable use of Shouldersback Posture Brace

In order to improve the bad postures such as hunchback and round shoulders, many people choose the popular "Shouldersback Posture Brace" and "posture correction belt" on the market. Is it really useful? Wen Jianmin, director of the Department of Orthopedics and Joints at Wangjing Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, said that all kinds of "Shouldersback Posture Brace" are corrected by external forces, depending on the age and the cause of the disease, and cannot be generalized.

Prolonged reading, looking at the mobile phone, looking at the computer and keeping your head down can easily cause children's spine curvature. Wen Jianmin believes that children have strong skeletal plasticity during the growth period, and after scoliosis occurs, the Back Posture Corrector  can be used as a brace to correct. People who sit in the office for a short period of time can correct bad sitting postures by wearing Shouldersback Posture Brace, and play an auxiliary and reminding role. For facet joint disorders or congenital spinal malformations, these conditions cannot be corrected by external force. Therefore, shoulder braces are not a universal belt. Wearing it can treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and it cannot be done once and for all. If you want to improve your bad posture, you must exercise more. The best way to exercise is to strengthen the muscles such as the latissimus dorsi, trapezius and rhomboid muscles of the neck and back.

If children and adolescents who have not fully grown their body bones have hunched back, they can choose to stand against the wall with their backs against the wall; when sitting in a sitting position, raise your chest and raise your head to prop up your spine. Or choose Xiao Yanfei's action: Lie on the bed, put your hands above your head, and stretch your legs back to correct the curve of the thoracic spine. In addition, breaststroke also has a better effect of correcting kyphosis. Adults can choose the prone position to exercise daily, relax the lower limbs together, place the arms on both sides of the body, take a deep breath, and slowly raise the head and chest until the neck and back muscles are tense and sore, and then return to the original position after 3 to 5 seconds. . Repeat this action 80 to 100 times a day. Don't have too many times in the early stage, and gradually increase the times in the later stage. This method can effectively use the muscle tension of the back of the neck to pull the hunchback state back to the normal state. In addition, patients with kyphosis can remove the pillow when resting and lie on a hardboard bed.

Old people with hunched back are often caused by severe osteoporosis. The front of the lumbar and thoracic vertebrae of the elderly become flat, so it is difficult to correct the kyphosis. Osteoporosis must be treated first. It is difficult to treat a kyphosis that has already formed conservatively, so you can only stand up straight and recline as much as possible. Especially serious "razor back", scoliosis, kyphosis, etc., can be improved by surgery.
