我是童童，我的脊柱康复之旅就是从27度到0度的奇迹！

我叫童童，今年12岁，曾经的我怎么也没想到，一次普通的体检会改变我的生活。那天，医生告诉我，我的脊柱出现了侧弯，右腰弯27度，腰椎旋转12度，还有左侧上胸弯22度。听到这个消息，我和妈妈都愣住了，心里充满了担忧和迷茫。 

My name is Tongtong, and I'm 12 years old. I never could have imagined that a routine medical check-up would drastically alter my life. On that day, the doctor informed me that my spine had developed a lateral curvature, with a bend of 27 degrees in my right side and a rotation of 12 degrees in my lumbar spine. Additionally, there was a curvature of 22 degrees in my left upper chest. When I heard this news, both my mother and I were stunned, filled with worry and confusion. 

 妈妈带我去了上海衷德脊柱中心，杨医生详细分析了我的情况，并为我制定了保守治疗方案：佩戴支具加上每天的训练。一开始，我并不适应。支具戴在身上又硬又紧，训练动作也让我觉得枯燥又累人。好几次，我都想放弃，但妈妈和杨医生总是鼓励我：“童童，坚持一下，为了你的健康，我们一起努力。”  

My mom took me to the Zhongde Scoliosis clinic and research center in Shanghai. Dr. Yang thoroughly analyzed my condition and devised a conservative treatment plan for me: wearing a brace and engaging in daily exercises. At first, I found it difficult to adjust to the feeling of the brace being stiff and tight on my body, and the exercises seemed tedious and exhausting. On several occasions, I almost wanted to give up, but my mom and Dr. Yang consistently encouraged me, saying, "Tongtong, please persevere. We're in this together for your health and well-being."

渐渐地，我发现自己有了变化。原本高低不平的肩膀慢慢变得对称，腰部的酸痛感也减轻了。半年后复查时，结果让我惊喜不已：腰椎旋转从12度降到了3度，脱掉支具后的24小时X光片显示，腰弯角度从27度降到了0度，上胸弯也从12度降到了5度！杨医生和康复师都为我点赞，说这是坚持和努力的结果。

Gradually, I noticed changes within myself. The once uneven shoulders had begun to align more symmetrically, and the discomfort in my lower back had significantly diminished. When I went for a follow-up examination six months later, the results were incredibly encouraging: the degree of lumbar rotation had decreased from 12 degrees to 3 degrees, and the X-ray taken 24 hours after removing the brace showed that the curvature of the lower back had dropped from 27 degrees to 0 degrees, while the upper thoracic curvature had also decreased from 12 degrees to just 5 degrees! Both Dr. Yang and the physical therapist expressed their admiration for my perseverance and hard work, attributing my progress to these factors.  

现在回想起来，这段康复经历不仅让我的身体变得更健康，也让我学会了坚持和自律。我明白了，面对困难时，只要不放弃，就一定能看到希望。感谢杨医生和他的团队的专业指导，也感谢妈妈一直陪在我身边。未来的日子里，我会继续坚持训练，让自己的脊柱越来越挺拔，迎接更美好的生活！

Reflecting on this period of recovery now, I realize that it has not only contributed to my physical well-being but also taught me the importance of perseverance and self-discipline. I understand that when faced with challenges, as long as one does not give up, there is always hope for a better future. I am grateful to Dr. Yang and his team for their expert guidance, as well as to my mother for her unwavering support throughout this journey. Moving forward, I am committed to continuing with my rehabilitation and strengthening my spine, which will enable me to embrace a brighter and more fulfilling life.
