Which hospital is better for posture correction?

In fact, there is no universal "best" posture correction hospital. The key point is to first look at the type and extent of your posture problem. Choosing the right institution is much more reliable than blindly rushing to a well-known hospital. A while ago, I accompanied my best friend to adjust the height of my three-month-old shoulders. From the beginning, I randomly found internet celebrity bone-setting clinics, and finally found the right place to adjust them. The method I found out is quite practical.

If your posture problem is caused by organic disease, such as confirmed idiopathic scoliosis with a curvature of more than 40 degrees, congenital bone development malformation, and abnormal posture associated with nerve damage, don’t hesitate to go directly to the top tertiary hospitals in local orthopedics. For example, the top-ranked Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital, and Guangzhou Zhongshan First Hospital are all recognized for their orthopedics. It’s reliable. Problems of this level have already involved changes in bone structure. A little carelessness may aggravate the damage. Don’t believe the nonsense of “pressing it back without surgery” from outside institutions. I have seen a 16-year-old scoliosis patient before. After half a year of massage at an external massage parlor, the curvature increased from 40 degrees to 48 degrees. In the end, he had to go to Jishuitan for brace correction and rehabilitation intervention to control it.

But if you only have functional postural problems such as rounded shoulders, hunched back, forward head extension, mild shoulder height, and forward pelvic tilt caused by sitting for a long time, crossing your legs, and lowering your head to play with mobile phones, and your bone structure has not undergone pathological changes, there is actually no need to apply for a top-level orthopedic department. It is more appropriate to either choose a top-level hospital with a formal rehabilitation medicine department, or find a regular specialist rehabilitation institution with licensed physicians and rehabilitation therapists. After all, most of the doctors at tertiary orthopedic departments focus on surgery and treatment of severe cases. For mild functional postural problems, the rehabilitation therapist can give you more time for assessment, and the adjustment plan will be more targeted. My best friend's shoulders were checked and there were no bone structure problems. Finally, she went to the rehabilitation department of our local Provincial People's Hospital. After the evaluation, the rehabilitation doctor said that she had high and low shoulders caused by pelvic rotation caused by carrying a shoulder bag and crossing her legs all year round. She did manual relaxation and functional training twice a week, and also taught her a few exercises at home. After more than a month, the distortion was not visible to the naked eye. Now she pays attention to her posture and there is no rebound.

Nowadays, many people are confused about whether to choose a hospital or an outside fitness studio or bone-setting studio. There are many supporters of both sides. Some people think that hospitals are safer and will not cause joint damage due to random breaks. Others think that formal institutions outside have more flexible hours, no need to queue up for appointments, and more meticulous services. In fact, as long as the right Only if you can show formal professional qualifications and the solutions given to your problems are logical and smooth, you can choose from them. What you are most afraid of is the wild way of saying "one bone setting will cure all posture problems" without even being able to get a rehabilitation therapist certificate. Spending money is a trivial matter, and breaking out the cervical and lumbar spine problems is not worth the gain.

There is another point that is easily overlooked. When choosing a hospital, don’t just look at the reputation of the hospital. You should also ask whether the person responsible for your assessment and correction is good at the problem you are dealing with. Some rehabilitation therapists focus on post-operative rehabilitation, and some specialize in postural adjustment for teenagers. Finding the right person is much more useful than blindly seeking the number of a top hospital. I once had a friend who deliberately grabbed a position in the rehabilitation department of a well-known tertiary tertiary hospital in Beijing in order to move forward. As a result, the rehabilitation therapist he was assigned was mainly responsible for post-stroke rehabilitation. The plan he was given was very general. After practicing for a month, there was no effect. Later, he changed to a rehabilitation practitioner who specializes in postural adjustment for office workers, and he saw significant improvement within two weeks.
