Growing Pain Migraine in Children

Growing Pains in Children

Growing pains are observed in school-age children. Some children may experience overly disturbing, recurrent leg pains however these unexplained pains are not taken seriously and put off as growing pains.

Several migraine patients of mine remembers having growing pains. I, myself, had unbearable leg pains in the last years of primary school even to the extent that some nights I could not sleep and needed to move my legs. One day, my mother took me to a doctor and the doctor said “She is as fit as a fiddle. It must be growing pain, it will go away in time.” Now when I think about that time, I also remember that I was having sore throat more frequently.

Negative stimuli coming from neck area can cause pain in the legs. There are some approaches that consider these complaints as some kind of migraine and the fact that migraine is common amongst these children proves that.

Growing pains in children and childhood migraine are caused by the same interference field: throat area. With proper neural therapy, both of these can be cured.
