My advice for chiropracters is that they are not all are the same. Some just want to push for you to sign a package and keep going back for more treatments... A good chiro will also leave you with proper advice and exercises to strengthen you. Otherwise it is paying big bucks for short term benefits.
I had a lower back pain and I went to get quite a few opinions... Finally one revealed that no adjustment was required but I simply needed to work on my hip, glute and hamstring area. After one consultation I kept doing the exercises and the pain stopped. I felt bad because actually by helping me this doc would earn less money... Not saying it will be the same for you but honest opinion makes a world of difference...

HI

I realize that my 11 year old ds has a slight hunchback. Should i bring him to polyclinic or is there any off-the-shelf brace that I can purchase to help?

Thanks.

For this sort of thing, it's best to seek professional advice first. For someone that young, you should find out exactly what is happening - is it just poor posture, or something more serious? Start with the polyclinic, and see what they suggest.

there is health check by HPB nurses in sch .
Sometimes the kids can stand straight , they are just lazy or too tall , lean etc
i was worried before too, but so far sch nurses cleared checks or now i know it is due to their laziness n slouch - drooping posture

schweppes:
Might want to consider kids yoga or swimming to strengthen your son's back and core muscles.


There's some discussion re kids yoga here

http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=156&start=10

My dd2 had a slight problem with her spine and we brought her swimming weekly to strengthen her back. Just want to add that the weekly swimming was not part of any swimming lessons. The aim was to strengthen her back and not to be graded for any survival swim tests.

Another thing I did was to bring her to the playground and get her to hang upside down from some elevated bar. (can use those pull up bars for this purpose). The inverted pose helps to reduce the pressure on the spine and back and at the same time, helps to lengthen the spine as well.
Thanks schweppes. Yes, my son has swimming lesson once a week since last year. I have check with Guardian pharmacy for the i-zest which was recommended by a parent in this forum. It costs about $168 for small size, I will get it for my boy and see how is the improvement. :thankyou: once again for your advice.

UncleLim:
Anything to do with the chairs in your home?

Hi, I just put a small cushion at his bottom part(waist).. he sit on normal chair for doing homeworks. I feel hard to correct him when he sit on the sofa, soft types leather. Any adsive?
Last weekend, I have went to 3 Guardian pharmacy to get the i vest, back support etc.. but they have no stock anymore. I can only keep trying to find it, else, I will try to book appointment with the Chiropractic or the other treatment which was recommended by one of the parent in this forum.

You may wish to consult a musculoskeletal therapist. I have previously consulted one at : http://www.manualcircle.com/index.htm

Also, there’s some instructions on number of hours to wear each day each day!

Hi,

You may wish to bring your child to chiropractic clinic for treatment. Quite costly about $1000+ for few treatments, helps to improve back posture.
Cheaper way is to go swimming...if the hunchback problem gets worst, the child may have scoliosis in future, and may require spine operation. My cousin did hers when she was in Secondary School.

They can wear back support if need be.

Recently, saw a method somewhere to correct bad posture.
Use say an umbrella, a stick or pole and place it behind horizontally just above the hips and grip the pole ends with both arms around it. Straighten the body.
Hope you get the picture.

My dd still trying this out, but not much time with school workloads. Think you need to do this regularly to see results.
