“Growing pains” are common in children, especially in the
legs. Muscle aching and throbbing are the most expressed symptoms. Growing
pains are what doctors call a diagnosis of exclusion. This means that other
conditions will be ruled out before a diagnosis of growing pains is made.
A recent study found that Chiropractic adjustments to the low
back (lumbar spine) helps ease the
discomfort of children between 4 and 12 with growing pains in the hips, knees,
and lower legs. The study’s authors
concluded that children with growing pains, “can be managed effectively with chiropractic
treatment.” “In conclusion, it appears
that growing
pains can be managed with
relatively little intervention and need not be left for the child to “grow out
of”.”
