我是小俊，17度到7度，坚持就能成功！

我叫小俊，今年10岁，来自武汉。2023年的夏天，我被诊断出患有17度的双主弯——胸椎和腰椎同时出现了弧度。对于一个热爱打篮球、梦想成为篮球运动员的我来说，这几乎是一个沉重的打击。

My name is Xiaojun, and I am 10 years old. I come from Wuhan. In the summer of 2023, I was diagnosed with a double main curvature of 17 degrees—both in the thoracic spine and the lumbar spine. For someone who loves playing basketball and dreams of becoming a professional basketball player, this was almost a crushing blow.

我们一家人辗转多家医院，得到的建议纷繁不一，有的建议观察等待，有的甚至提出未来可能需要手术。焦虑与无助几乎淹没了我们。就在我们几乎要放弃保守治疗的希望时，一次偶然的机会，我们在公众号上了解到上海有一家专注于脊柱侧弯保守治疗的机构——衷德脊柱侧弯矫正中心。尤其是其强调的“非手术干预”和“个性化训练”理念，让我们看到了一线曙光。没有丝毫犹豫，我和妈妈决定利用暑假，专程从武汉赶赴上海。

Our family went to several hospitals, and the advice we received was varied. Some suggested observation and waiting, while others even mentioned that future surgery might be necessary. Anxiety and helplessness almost overwhelmed us. Just when we were on the verge of giving up hope for conservative treatment, we stumbled upon a chance to learn about a specialized institution in Shanghai that focuses on conservative treatment for scoliosis— Zhongde Scoliosis clinic and research center . Particularly, its emphasis on "non-surgical intervention" and "personalized training" gave us a glimmer of hope. Without any hesitation, my mother and I decided to use our summer vacation to make the special trip from Wuhan to Shanghai.

当我第一次踏进杨博士的衷德脊柱侧弯矫正中心。评估结果显示，我的胸弯和腰弯均为17度。“程度不算最严重，但必须立即干预，否则在生长发育高峰期很可能快速加重。”杨博士这样说道。接下来，杨博士团队为我量身定制了一套密集的强化训练计划。整个假期，我几乎每天都在这里度过。训练并不轻松，有些动作需要极强的控制力，但我从未说过放弃。

When I first stepped into Dr. Yang's Zhongde Scoliosis clinic and research center . The assessment showed that both my thoracic and lumbar curves were 17 degrees. "The degree is not the most severe, but immediate intervention is necessary, as it could potentially worsen rapidly during the peak period of growth and development," Dr. Yang explained. Following this, Dr. Yang's team customized a rigorous and intensive training program for me. For the entire duration of the holiday, I spent almost every day there. Training is not easy; some movements require extremely strong control, but I have never said that I want to give up. 

假期的集训结束后，我们一家三口回到武汉，但治疗并未中断。在杨博士团队的远程指导下，妈妈每天督促我在家完成维持训练，每周在线复查姿势和动作质量。这个过程需要极强的耐心和毅力，我们一家人丝毫不敢懈怠。

After the holiday, our family of three returned to Wuhan, but the treatment did not come to a halt. Under the remote guidance of Dr. Yang's team, my mother supervised me to complete the maintenance training at home every day, and we conducted weekly online reviews of my posture and the quality of my movements. This process required immense patience and perseverance, and none of us dared to slack off.

三个月的时间，在坚持中悄然而过。最近一次的复查结果让我欣喜若狂：我的腰弯从17度减少到了7度——这已经属于正常范围！而胸弯也从17度下降到了11度，仅差1度就能恢复正常。片子对比显示，我的脊柱排列明显改善，体态也变得挺拔了许多。

Three months have passed quietly while I persisted with treatment. The results of my most recent check-up were incredibly encouraging: the curvature of my lower back has decreased from 17 degrees to 7 degrees – which is already within the normal range! The curvature of my upper back has also decreased from 17 degrees to just 11 degrees, with only a 1-degree difference from the normal range. Comparison images show that the alignment of my spine has significantly improved, and my posture has become much more upright.

我想告诉所有和我一样的小朋友：不要害怕困难，只要坚持努力，就一定能够战胜困难。也要谢谢我的爸爸妈妈，还有衷德脊柱的康复师们，是你们帮我重新挺直了脊梁，让我能够继续追逐我的运动员梦想。这就是我的故事，一个10岁男孩与脊柱侧弯"战斗"的故事。现在的我，更加珍惜能够自由打篮球的每一天，因为我知道，健康的身体就是最宝贵的礼物。

I want to tell all the kids who are in the same situation as me: don't be afraid of difficulties; as long as you persist and work hard, you will definitely be able to overcome them. I would also like to thank my parents, as well as the rehabilitation therapists from Zhongde. It is thanks to all of you that I have been able to straighten my back and continue pursuing my dream of becoming an athlete. This is my story—a tale of a 10-year-old boy who "fought" against scoliosis. Now, I cherish every day when I can play basketball freely, because I know that a healthy body is the most precious gift one can have.
