Patient's question:
The child is around 5 years old. Recently, for some 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 can lead to relatively slower muscle growth, resulting in 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, garlic, and chrysanthemum. It is important to ensure balanced nutrition and avoid picky eating habits.
