National Science Popularization Day | Orthopedic Disease Rumor 1: Can skipping cure scoliosis? ?

Rumor debunked: Skipping rope cannot cure scoliosis.

Scoliosis is a structural bone disease that requires comprehensive evaluation and treatment. Treatment methods include follow-up observation, rehabilitation, braces, surgical treatment, etc. Rope skipping as a form of exercise can improve body coordination and balance, and enhance the strength of core muscles such as the back and abdomen. However, rope skipping cannot directly change the shape of scoliosis and cannot be used alone as a method to treat scoliosis.

If you or someone around you has scoliosis, it is recommended that a professional doctor develop a reasonable treatment plan. During the rehabilitation process, you can consult a doctor to understand which exercises are suitable and how to perform them correctly to avoid possible risks. At the same time, it is also very important to have regular examinations and evaluations to monitor the changes and development of the spine.
