How to cure the spine?

Scoliosis or curvature of the spine is a common disease in both adults and children. In the modern world, this pathology is gaining momentum because of a sedentary lifestyle.

As for the child's body, the disease can cause various violations. Therefore, it is very important to monitor your posture from a small age.

Diagnosis of the disease

To detect the curvature of the spine, it is necessary to stand up straight and examine the back. The norm is an even vertebral column and symmetrical vertebrae.

If it is necessary to examine the infant, then in this case the baby is put on the tummy and the back is examined for smoothness.

If deviations in one of the sides are found, then it is required to consult a specialist, because the disease should be treated at an early stage.

How to cure your spine independently

To correct the posture and strengthen the back muscles, it is necessary to perform a number of physical exercises.

Stand on all fours and walk around the room in this position for two or three minutes.
Lie on your back on a flat hard surface and begin to stretch the spine: the socks are stretched and they tend to go down, the top stretches, on the contrary, upwards.
Stay on your back. Next, you need to perform an exercise called "Bike": move your feet in the air, like twisting the pedals.
Then you need to perform the exercise "Scissors": from the supine position on the back, raise the legs above the floor level and begin to plant and reduce them. Then turn over on the stomach and repeat the exercise.
Remain lying on your stomach. Legs are straight, hands need to perform an exercise that mimics swimming breaststroke.
Again, the original position - lying on your stomach. It is necessary to raise the legs and upper body and bend over the spine. At the same time, keep your legs together, and put your arms apart. Quit for ten seconds.
The last exercise - squats with a straight back (at a slow pace).

It is desirable to conduct training on a special mat. The room needs to be ventilated before exercise.

At the first and second degree of curvature, the doctor usually prescribes a referral to exercise therapy, where exercises are conducted under the supervision of an experienced specialist.

With a strong curvature (third and fourth degree), you can purchase a special corset for additional support.

Also, with problems with the spine and pain in theback massage is an effective method of treatment. You can get a referral from a doctor or make an appointment with a paid massage therapist. If there are serious deviations in the spine, it is not recommended to trust the back of non-professionals. With mild pain, you can ask one of your relatives to perform a warming and relaxing massage (tapping, stroking, stretching, rubbing, etc.).

In addition, it is worth paying attention to proper nutrition. The diet should contain substances such as protein, calcium, vitamins C and D (eat fish, liver, eggs, dairy products, vegetables and greens).
