Growing pains is not just a saying, it is very much real, especially for growing children. Another one of these pains aside from Sever’s disease is Osgood-Schlatter. This condition is the cause of a bony bump on the shins just below the knee. It usually occurs active children who are involved in running, jumping and swift changes of direction.

Osgood-Schlatter causes pain underneath or on the knee that affects movement and can affect both knees. Activities, like running, skipping, jumping, and even walking, can be an uncomfortable feeling for the affected person.

That is why once your child experiences discomfort and an overall difficulty in movement, it is important to seek the help of a professional like the ones in Wellness Health Acupuncture & Physical Therapy. Our professional therapists can provide effective and immediate relief to children with Osgood-Schlatter. With every session, the therapist can offer certain exercises and care plans that will ensure fast healing and various prevention methods.
