Growing pains and how chiropractic care can help.
Make it stand out
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Growing pains are a common complaint among children, often dismissed by some doctors as a normal part of growing and maturing. However, at Rapha Chiropractic, we believe there may be more to it neurologically. Recent trends indicate an upward increase in growing pains, alongside other sensory challenges such as ADHD and autism. If your child is struggling with growing pains read through to learn the result of nervous system interference, and how chiropractic care can provide relief.
What are growing pains?
Growing pains typically manifest as aching or throbbing sensations in the legs, often occurring in the evening or at night. While the exact cause of growing pains remains unclear, they are generally associated with periods of rapid growth. However, these pains can sometimes be a sign of underlying issues within the nervous system.
The Neurological Aspect of Growing Pains
Growing pains might not just be a result of physical growth but could also be linked to the nervous system. A child's nervous system is responsible for sending signals to and from the brain, coordinating bodily functions, and ensuring proper development. When the nervous system is stressed or misaligned, it can lead to various symptoms, including pain, sensory challenges, and behavioral issues.
Nervous System Interference and Communication
Interference in the nervous system disrupts the communication between the brain and the body. This miscommunication can prevent the brain from effectively sending and receiving signals, leading to various health issues. Proper nervous system function is crucial for overall health and well-being, especially during the critical stages of growth and development in children.
There is a noticeable trend of growing pains occurring alongside conditions such as ADHD and autism. These sensory and neurological challenges can exacerbate the pain and lead to emotional and behavioral struggles. A stressed nervous system might struggle to process sensory information properly, leading to discomfort and pain.
