Recently, the college entrance examination results have been released, which has brought joy and sorrow to many families. Parents are very concerned about their children's academic performance, and sometimes their concern for grades exceeds their concern for physical health. They believe that if there are no obvious symptoms in daily life and school physical examinations are not a problem, their children are healthy.
In clinical practice, many children with scoliosis have missed the best treatment time due to their busy school years, resulting in worsening of their condition. In the end, they achieve good grades but cannot even attend the school and major they have always wanted to attend, leaving their families deeply regretful!
Students with scoliosis should not attend schools and majors that require special physical examinations, such as education, performance, navigation technology, flight technology, military academies, and national defense students. Students with scoliosis cannot be admitted either. Relevant data shows that scoliosis has become the third major disease that endangers the health of children and adolescents in China, after obesity and myopia. The number of scoliosis cases among primary and secondary school students in China has exceeded 5 million, and is still increasing at a rate of about 300000 per year. However, most routine physical examinations in primary and secondary schools do not include screening for scoliosis.

A 17-year-old child has excellent academic performance and has had no problems during physical examinations from elementary school to high school. Parents have also noticed that the child always looks hunched over, thinking it is due to poor posture, and often scold him, demanding that he maintain a proper posture.
The child achieved good results in this year's college entrance examination and wanted to apply for a performance major. However, it was discovered that he had spinal problems, so he came for a full spine DR examination:
Imaging presentation:
The anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of the entire spine show that the thoracic segment of the spine curves to the left of the right-sided process with the thoracic vertebra 6 as the center; The lumbar segment curves to the left and right with the lumbar vertebra 1 as the center; The Cobb angle of the thoracic spine is 17 °, and the Cobb angle of the lumbar spine is 45 °.
Unfortunately, the child's scoliosis has reached a severe level and treatment requires a relatively long period of time, so the child can only apply for other majors. If parents take their children's body posture seriously and seek timely examination and treatment, such results will not occur.
