En promedio, los ni\u00f1os estadounidenses de 8 a 12 a\u00f1os pasan de cuatro a seis horas al d\u00eda mirando o usando pantallas. La mayor parte de ese tiempo lo pasan sentados en una posici\u00f3n encorvada y mirando hacia abajo, lo que puede causar un aumento del dolor de espalda.

Aunque el dolor lumbar suele ser una queja frecuente entre las personas adultas mayores, ha sido menos com\u00fan en ni\u00f1os y adolescentes, hasta ahora.<\/p>\n

“El dolor de espalda en ni\u00f1os y adolescentes es una preocupaci\u00f3n creciente debido al aumento del uso de pantallas”, afirm\u00f3 Erika Barger, fisioterapeuta de la UCHealth SportsMed Pediatric Therapy Clinic<\/a> en Steamboat Springs. “Adem\u00e1s de provocar fatiga visual, interrupciones del sue\u00f1o, dolores de cabeza y problemas de salud mental, el aumento de tiempo frente a pantallas puede contribuir al aumento del dolor lumbar”.<\/p>\n

La mala postura de un ni\u00f1o frente a las pantallas<\/strong><\/h2>\n

En promedio, los ni\u00f1os estadounidenses de 8 a 12 a\u00f1os pasan entre cuatro y seis horas al d\u00eda viendo o utilizando pantallas. La mayor parte de ese tiempo lo pasan sentados en una posici\u00f3n encorvada y mirando hacia abajo.<\/p>\n

“A esta postura a menudo se le llama ‘cuello de texto’ o ‘cuello tecnol\u00f3gico'”, explic\u00f3 Erika Barger. “Cuando mantenemos una mala postura al estar sentados durante un per\u00edodo prolongado, ponemos m\u00e1s tensi\u00f3n en los m\u00fasculos, ligamentos y articulaciones del cuello y la espalda, especialmente al permanecer en una posici\u00f3n inc\u00f3moda durante varias horas seguidas”.<\/p>\n

Incluso sentarse con una buena postura ejerce un 40% m\u00e1s de fuerza compresiva sobre los discos intervertebrales en comparaci\u00f3n con estar de pie, adem\u00e1s de restringir el movimiento de l\u00edquidos y nutrientes esenciales.<\/p>\n

“Nuestros discos intervertebrales son la estructura ‘avascular’ m\u00e1s grande de nuestro cuerpo, lo que significa que la mayor parte no tiene un suministro directo de sangre”, se\u00f1al\u00f3 Barger. “Para que nuestros discos reciban nutrientes y eliminen productos de desechos, necesitamos movernos”.<\/p>\n

Otros factores que contribuyen al dolor de espalda en ni\u00f1os y adolescentes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Las pantallas no son las \u00fanicas responsables del dolor lumbar en ni\u00f1os y adolescentes. Este problema tambi\u00e9n puede derivarse de lesiones por sobreuso. Por ejemplo, deportes en los que se arquea repetidamente la zona lumbar, como la gimnasia, el baile, los saltos de esqu\u00ed, la lucha libre o el hockey, pueden provocar problemas.<\/p>\n

Otros factores comunes que contribuyen al dolor de espalda incluyen una discrepancia en la longitud de las piernas, alteraciones en caminar, un \u00edndice de masa corporal (IMC) elevado y estirones de crecimiento.<\/p>\n

Tampoco debe ignorarse el impacto de llevar una mochila pesada.<\/p>\n

“Una mochila pesada puede provocar un tir\u00f3n hacia atr\u00e1s”, explic\u00f3 Erika Barger. “Los ni\u00f1os tienden a compensar inclin\u00e1ndose hacia adelante. Sin embargo, esta postura encorvada hacia adelante aumenta la carga y la fuerza sobre la columna, lo que puede causar m\u00e1s tensi\u00f3n en los hombros, el cuello y la espalda”.<\/p>\n

La mayor\u00eda de los casos de dolor lumbar en ni\u00f1os y adolescentes se debe a tensiones musculares y otros problemas musculoesquel\u00e9ticos, sin embargo, otras posibles causas de dolor de espalda en este grupo incluyen escoliosis, fracturas por estr\u00e9s, enfermedad de Scheuermann, estre\u00f1imiento o una hernia de disco.<\/p>\n

Se\u00f1ales de que su hijo o hija podr\u00eda tener un problema de dolor de espalda<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Los s\u00edntomas de dolor lumbar incluyen rigidez, molestias persistentes, dolor que aumenta con el movimiento, dolor que se agrava al permanecer sentado o de pie por per\u00edodos prolongados, un gran dolor y molestias despu\u00e9s de practicar deportes.<\/p>\n

Consulte con un m\u00e9dico si el dolor persiste durante varias semanas o si interfiere con la participaci\u00f3n de su hijo o hija en sus actividades. Es fundamental buscar ayuda inmediata si el dolor lumbar se asocia con otros s\u00edntomas, como fiebre, interrupciones del sue\u00f1o, p\u00e9rdida de peso inexplicada, ya que podr\u00eda indicar un problema subyacente m\u00e1s grave.<\/p>\n

Aunque el dolor lumbar pueda parecer un problema menor en ni\u00f1os y adolescentes, es crucial abordarlo desde el principio.<\/p>\n

“Encorvarse durante unos minutos o inclinarse hacia un lado mientras juegan, estudian o ven televisi\u00f3n no causa una deformidad permanente en la columna. Sin embargo, esta postura encorvada continua puede aumentar el riesgo de sufrir dolor constante en el cuello y la espalda”, se\u00f1al\u00f3 Erika Barger. “Tener dolor lumbar como ni\u00f1o, ni\u00f1a o adolescente tambi\u00e9n es un factor de riesgo significativo para desarrollar dolor lumbar en la edad adulta”.<\/p>\n
