Growing Pains Treatment

Effective Treatment Of Common Growing Pains From Our Expert Podiatrists.

Some children experience pain, especially at night time in one or both of their legs. These are referred to as growing pains even though it has not been diagnosed that growth is the cause of the pain.Β They usually occur between the ages of 3-5 and then again between the ages of 8-12 and the pain tends to be worse after a day of activity and exercise and can be bad enough to wake a child up.

What we can do for you.

We can treat Growing Pains at any of our nationwide clinics.

Is your child struggling with growing pains? Our nationwide clinics offer expert treatment to relieve pain and enhance recovery. Don’t let discomfort hold you backβ€”book your appointment today and start your journey to healing!

Common Growing Pains Symptoms
  • Discomfort in the Feet: Children may experience generalized pain that radiates down to the feet, leading to aching or soreness.
  • Altered Gait: Pain can cause a child to change their walking pattern, which may lead to discomfort in the feet due to uneven weight distribution.
  • Increased Fatigue: Ongoing discomfort can lead to tiredness in the feet, making activities like running or jumping less enjoyable.
  • Sensitivity: Children may become more sensitive to touch or pressure in their feet, particularly during painful episodes.
  • Impact on Activity Levels: Pain may discourage active play, which can affect foot strength and overall development.

There is no cure as such for growing pains but our Podiatrists can offer treatment to your child to lessen the pain and make them more comfortable. Our Podiatrist can offer advice on stretching and exercises as well as performing manual therapy and mobilisations to help loosen their leg muscles and reduce the pain. They may prescribe orthotics for growing pains as orthotics can remove some of the strain and pressure felt in the legs which may help to reduce your child’s pain.

Our Podiatrist can assess your child’s condition to confirm that their pain is due to growing pains and not some other underlying lower limb condition.

We have specially trained Paediatric Podiatrists who will assess your child’s condition and provide appropriate treatment depending on their condition and age. Our Paediatric Podiatrists are fully qualified with extensive clinical experience in the treatment of children of all ages.

This is a brilliant place to go to if you are anyway nervous or anxious because they make you feel very comfortable before starting and are very chatty and polite. I got treated by a lady called Aoife who was so lovely and kind. I would highly recommend her and the clinic A+++

Using Spectrum Foot Clinics was the best move I ever made regarding having my husbands feet being seen to, he's had diabetes for about nine years and found it difficult to find a suitable chiropodist (as was suggested by his diabetic nurse). I found your Clinic by searching on Google.I phoned in the morning, and made an appointment for that same afternoon, which pleasantly surprised me. The attention and professionalism we received by the podiatrist Saoirse Waldron, was warm, welcoming and reassuring.To anyone who suffers with foot problems, I would highly recommend a visit to your Clinic. I had my own feet seen to on the same day and what a difference it made!!!

Great place. I turned up on time for my appointment and was seen straight away. If only more places were like this. Chiropodist did the examination and assured me nothing much was wrong, this is what I wanted to hear. Very reassured and happy with the service.
