Growing pains are essentially pain in the muscles of the legs. They typically come on in the late afternoons/evening and can wake children from their sleep. 

​

Growing pains are more likely to occur after an increase in physical activity and are commonly the result of muscle lengthening not keeping up with the rate of boney growth.

Our podiatrists can assess your child's foot posture and determine if there is an underlying biomechanical reason contributing to the growing pains.
