我是小馨，27度双胸弯型脊柱侧弯，不戴支具恢复中～

我叫小馨，今年11岁，是一名五年级的学生。记得去年学校体检时，医生发现我的背部有些不对称，建议去医院进一步检查。妈妈带我去拍了X光片，结果显示我有双胸弯型脊柱侧弯——胸弯27度，上胸弯24度。听到这个消息时，我心里有些害怕，脑海里浮现出“手术”“支具”这些陌生的词。  

My name is Xiaoxin, and I'm 11 years old; I'm currently in the fifth grade, and I've been dealing with scoliosis for about a year now.When I went for a physical examination at school last year, the doctor noticed that there was some asymmetry in my back, so he suggested that I go to the hospital for further examination. My mom took me to get an X-ray, and the results showed that I had double thoracic kyphosis—a kyphosis of 27 degrees in the thoracic region and 24 degrees in the upper thoracic region.When I heard the news, I felt a bit scared, and unfamiliar words like "surgery" and "brace" kept popping up in my mind.

非常巧合的是 ，我的表姐也在之前被确认了脊柱侧弯，她介绍我去了杨博士的衷德脊柱侧弯矫正与研究中心，杨博士仔细分析了我的情况。他告诉我，因为我的侧弯部位偏上，传统的支具可能效果不佳，甚至可能让上胸弯加重。杨博士建议尝试纯训练干预。我们决定试一试。  

It was quite a coincidence that my cousin, who had been diagnosed with scoliosis earlier, referred me to Dr. Yang's Shanghai Zhongde Scoliosis clinic and research center, where Dr. Yang carefully analyzed my condition.He informed me that since my curvature is located at a higher part of my spine, traditional bracing might not be effective and could even worsen the upper thoracic curvature. Dr.Yang suggested trying training intervention. We decided to give it a try.

接下来的九个月，我每周都会去衷德做训练。杨博士为我设计了一套个性化的训练。一开始，有些动作做起来特别吃力，但康复师和爸爸妈妈一直鼓励我，他们说：“小馨，坚持住，你的努力一定会有效果的！”  

For the next nine months, I would go to Zhongde every week for training. Dr. Yang designed a personalized training set for me. At first, some movements were particularly difficult to do, but the rehabilitation specialist and my parents kept encouraging me. They said,"Xiaoxin, hold on, your efforts will definitely have results!"

慢慢地，我发现自己的身体有了变化。以前穿衣服时总觉得肩膀一高一低，现在照镜子时明显对称多了。妈妈也说我的体态挺拔了许多，不再像以前那样驼背了。最让我开心的是，九个月后的复查结果显示，我那最难矫正的胸弯从27度降到了20度，顽固的上胸弯也从24度降到了15度！杨博士都夸我的进步太棒了！

Slowly but surely, I noticed changes in my body. When I put on clothes before, my shoulders seemed to be uneven, but now they appear much more symmetrical when I look in the mirror. My mother also remarked that my posture has improved significantly, and I no longer slouch like before. What made me most happy was that nine months later, the re-examination results showed that my most difficult thoracic scoliosis had dropped from 27 degrees to 20 degrees, and my upper thoracic scoliosis had also dropped from 24 degrees to 15 degrees! Dr. Yang praised my progress as great!

这段经历让我明白，遇到困难时，只要勇敢面对并坚持努力，就一定能看到希望。为了感谢衷德脊柱的医生和康复师，我特地画了一幅画送给杨博士。现在的我更加自信了，未来我也会继续坚持训练，让自己变得更好！

This experience taught me that as long as I face difficulties bravely and persist in my efforts, I will definitely see hope; in order to express my gratitude to the doctors and physical therapists at Zhongde Spine, I specially drew a picture to present to Dr. Yang; now I am even more confident, and I will continue to persist in my training to become even better in the future.
