Orthotics/Braces/Healthcare Products

Children often partake in lots of physical activity both at school and on the weekends. It is not uncommon for children to participate in 2-3 sports at any one time, in addition to running around at school. This high level of physical activity can place load on developing structures in the body. Fortunately, children are quite flexible and always growing, enabling their bodies to heal relatively quickly. 

‘Growing pains’ is a common term used for symptoms experienced by a child or adolescent during, or immediately following a growth spurt. The mechanism of this painful and sometimes debilitating condition is related to soft tissue (muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves) becoming stretched and overextended as a result of new skeletal (bone) growth.

It is important that these injuries are identified and diagnosed early in order to maintain or return to their physical activity levels. It is our job to make sure we get them back to what they love doing in a safe and timely manner.
