Spinal deformity, how children are being harmed by scoliosis

Curvature of the spine, known as scoliosis, is increasingly affecting children and adults.

Lack of physical activity, incorrect posture for long hours in front of the computer or mobile phones are some of the causes. Meanwhile, the very heavy weight of the school bag remains a concern for children.

The deformity requires specialized intervention and constant checks.

Specialists advise that the school bag should not be heavier than 10% of the child’s weight, but reality speaks differently. This has influenced not only the increase in scoliosis cases, but also the decrease in the age of onset in children.
