| SCOLIOSIS
|
Scoliotic disease in children is a persistent, constantly progressing
spinal deformity that develops during the growth period up to age 18.
The most active period is 11–14 years. The onset of the disease
is associated with disruptions in bone and cartilage tissue growth processes
and has a hereditary predisposition.
Incorrect sitting posture is not the cause of scoliosis, although it can aggravate it. Additionally, a properly selected adjustable children's chair can help develop correct sitting habits. Such chairs don't so much prevent scoliosis as they form the child's proper attitude toward studying and develop good habits.

How to detect scoliosis in a child?
Ask the child to stand with their back to you and slightly lean forward
with their head down. Bumps of spinous processes will appear in the middle,
which normally form a straight line. If deviations from a straight line
are observed — this is a deformity and a reason to see a doctor. Dr. Kosik
is the author of a method for manual correction of spinal deformities
and a method of active self-correction during the post-manipulation period.
This active dynamic correction method (as opposed to the traditional
passive method) allows for complete elimination of deformity
in the early stages, and for grade II and III deformities,
significant reduction. Active self-correction during the
post-manipulation period allows maintaining the spine
in the correct position.

Exercises for scoliosis
Corrective exercises are strictly individual for each
case and can be performed and be effective only
after a course of treatment.
