Scheuermann's disease, a vertebral deformity during growth. Insufficient blood supply to the vertebral cartilage is one of the main causes of Scheuermann's disease. Indeed, the latter are poorly irrigated, deteriorate and no longer play their role as a shock absorber, so that pain is felt in the vertebrae. The disease is manifested by the curved appearance of the back, especially at the time of puberty. The spine becomes deformed and the patient feels pain. Scheuermann's disease affects the spine, most often in the chest, and manifests itself as pain between the shoulder blades, especially after prolonged standing or sitting. The problem is aggravated by certain factors such as obesity or the practice of a sport that is unsuitable for the age or build of the child. Sometimes, it is the carrying of too heavy loads that causes damage to the vertebrae that are still in the growth phase. Symptoms of Scheuermann's disease. Scheuermann's disease can sometimes be asymptomatic and is only detected incidentally, during an X-ray prescribed for other reasons. The most visible manifestation of the disease is a round back, sometimes associated with a bump. Back stiffness may also be felt. The most common symptom is increased pain after physical education classes or after sitting for long periods of time in class, for example. When to see a doctor?
