Growing Pains- True or False

Dr. Peter Wishnie answers the question, "is there really such a thing as growing pains"? When children experience pain there are some people, even some doctors who assume the pain is just growing pains.

Dr. Wishnie explains...there is NO SUCH THING AS GROWING PAINS! It does not hurt to grow. It is actually pain in the muscle where the growing occurs.

The pain can be caused from very flat or very high, stiff arches. Your doctor needs to do a gait analysis to determine the cause of this pain.

Treatment usually includes stretching, massaging, and Tylenol. If the pain persists, your podiatrist will recommend custom orthotics to balance the foot and relieve the strain.
