If your child is bending on to one side and walking with a heavy step, or suffering from shoulder pain or if the shoulders are dis symitrical you have to doubt that your child is suffering from Scoliosis. consult a doctor immediately as it could lead to deformity in the back bone and affeting other organs like lungs and joints. Students between 10 to 15 years are falling victims to Scholiasis.As the parents are ignorant about this deformity, children in India are suffering more.Scoliosis which was found in foreign countries has seeped into Indian Mertos. carrying heavy school bags on one shoulder is the cause for Scholiasis. With a few precautions you can save your child from this deforming disease.
The weight of the bag should be about 15% of the student's weight. Bid goodbye to the conventional school bag and buy back packs.A stroller bag like handle for the back pack is preferred as the child can drag it when he or she is tired of carrying.
Heavy books must be at the bottom near the waist and note books at the top.
The student must carry the bag changing shoulders as often as possible. The straps of the bag must be on both shoulders distributing the weight equally.
It is better if the bag has another handle to carry in the hand, so that the child can change the bag from one hand to another.
please the take the child for check up every year to both physician and arthopedic doctor.
