Growing Pains
We actually know very little about growing pains apart from that some children get sore arms or legs at the end of the day and they usually wake up feeling better in the morning.
Chiropractic care can help interrupt the pain cycle in children
Text neck or tech neck
Many children now spend between 5 to 7 hours a day on their smartphones or handheld devices. This is causing a 21st century epidemic called ‘text neck‘ or tech neck that comes from hours of bending forward to look at devices. Text neck or tech neck results in changes in the bones, ligaments, and muscles that support the head and causes postural changes and pain in the neck and other related areas.
Children with Growing Pain
Children with growing pains often get headaches. Headaches in children are very common. Kids who suffer from headaches often go on to become adults who suffer from severe headache syndromes. One very important cause of headaches in kids is prolonged static postures – which is a scientific way of describing text neck or tech neck.
