How many types of hunchbacks are there? What is a hunchback like?

Everyone must have heard of hunchbacks in life, but do you know about hunchbacks? Today, let's learn about it together. How many types of hunchbacks are there? What is a hunchback like? Let's learn together with the editor.

1. Round shoulders and hunchback

As can be seen from the figure below, when rounded shoulders occur, the forward rotation of the shoulders will make the back look thicker and the chest droop more, and the entire upper body will feel like a large angle has been formed, so the back will appear to be arched backwards. This type of hunchback is often caused by long-term chest hunching and is the most common type of hunchback. This type of hunchback is mainly aimed at correcting the forward rotation of the shoulders. Wearing a Beibeijia type of orthotic belt can also have a certain effect on this type of hunchback.

2. Stretch your head and hunch your back

Head-extending hunchback is caused by the forward extension of the neck. When the neck is extended forward, the center of gravity of the entire head moves forward. In order to maintain balance, the back will naturally arch backward to maintain the stability of the center of gravity of the upper body. As the head is extended forward, the slightly arched back will appear to be severely convex. This type of hunchback is mainly caused by long-term bowing of the head to play with the phone. To correct the head-extending hunchback, it is mainly to train the neck muscles to return the entire head to a neutral position.

3. Lazy body hunchback

The so-called lazy posture means that the muscles of the whole body are in a relatively relaxed or weak state. At the same time, the ligaments of various parts of the body are also relatively loose and weak. The whole person's head is drooping, the chest is hunched, the shoulders are shrunk, the belly is protruding, the waist is collapsed, the knees are hyperextended... Almost all common bad postures are included. This type of hunchback is a comprehensive hunchback, mainly due to the long-term unwillingness of muscles to exert force, not standing when you can sit, not sitting when you can lie down, and leaning when you can lean. The correction of lazy hunchback should focus on training core muscles.

4. Lumbar hunchback

This type of hunchback is most common in tall and thin boys. The middle standing posture shown in the following figure is the standard standing posture. The first picture shows the pelvis posteriorly tilted, and the third picture shows the pelvis anteriorly tilted. We are very desperate to find that the pelvis will cause hunchback regardless of whether it is anteriorly tilted or posteriorly tilted. It is really suffocating. The so-called lumbar hunchback refers to the hunchback caused by the posterior tilt of the pelvis. (The hunchback caused by the anterior tilt of the pelvis is similar to the lazy man's hunchback) This type of hunchback is more common in the elderly, and is often accompanied by sagging buttocks. The correction of this type of hunchback is based on strengthening the muscle strength of the waist and buttocks.

Rachiokyphosis is a common spinal deformity, which is a morphological change caused by kyphosis of the thoracic vertebrae. It is often seen in elderly people with spinal deformity, sitting posture errors, rickets, ankylosing spondylitis and other diseases. A hunchback that can be corrected is called active hunchback. A hunchback that cannot be corrected is called fixed hunchback.

A good back can help regulate our brain to a certain extent, and can help maintain a normal posture, but it can also lead to muscle degeneration due to disuse. No matter what posture a person is in for a long time, it is not good, no matter how standard the posture is or how long it takes to lie down. So a good back has both advantages and disadvantages. The best way to correct a hunchback is to stand and sit correctly.

1. Always remind yourself subconsciously not to hunch your back. It is not difficult for us to straighten our backs. Over time, we will change bad habits into good habits.

2. If the pillow is too high when you sleep, it will directly cause deformation of our cervical spine, so don't sleep with a pillow that is too high when you fall asleep.

3. Standing against the wall can effectively correct our spine and prevent curvature. If you want to change your shape, you must insist on standing against the wall, and you will definitely see significant results.

4. Whether you are a student studying or a worker sitting for a long time, you must pay more attention to your sitting posture and don't lie on the table. Doing so will not only affect your study or work efficiency, but also make your hunchback worse.
