Patient's question:
The child is around 5 years old. Recently, for some unknown reason, they often complain of leg pain. What are the causes of lower back pain in children?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the leg pain in children is primarily considered to be due to growing pains, as rapid bone growth relative to muscle growth can cause this condition. Generally, massage and physical therapy are effective treatments, which may include local massage, heat application, closed-loop therapy, and acupuncture. It is recommended to consume foods that promote blood circulation and dispel stagnation, such as Panax notoginseng, hawthorn, patchouli, Allium macrostemon, and chrysanthemum greens. Proper nutrition should be ensured, and a balanced diet is necessary.
