Understanding Growing Pains
Growing pains are common in children, typically occurring between the ages of 3 and 12. These mild, aching sensations often affect the legs—particularly the calves, thighs, or behind the knees—usually in the evening or nighttime. While the exact cause is unclear, they are believed to be linked to rapid growth and increased physical activity.
Common Symptoms & When to Seek Care
Growing pains are usually characterized by:
- A deep, aching discomfort in the legs
- Occasional nighttime pain that may disrupt sleep
- Relief through massage, stretching, or warmth
While growing pains are generally harmless, medical attention is recommended if your child experiences:
- Persistent or worsening pain
- Swelling, redness, or joint stiffness
- Pain accompanied by fever or weakness
We offer personalized approaches to growing pain relief, including therapeutic massage, stretching exercises, and lifestyle recommendations to ease discomfort. Our team is here to provide expert guidance and ensure your child’s development remains healthy and pain-free.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are growing pains, and why do they happen?
Growing pains are common, non-serious aches that typically affect children between the ages of 3 and 12. They often occur in the legs, especially in the evening or at night. While the exact cause is unknown, they may be linked to muscle fatigue, increased physical activity, or rapid growth phases.
How can I tell if my child’s pain is due to growing pains or something more serious?
Growing pains are usually characterized by aching or throbbing in the legs, with no swelling, redness, or fever. If your child experiences persistent pain, joint swelling, limping, or pain during the day, it’s best to consult a healthcare professional to rule out other conditions.
What are the best ways to relieve growing pains at home?
Gentle stretching, warm baths, massage, and heat therapy can help soothe discomfort. Encouraging hydration and a balanced diet can also support muscle recovery and overall health.
When should I seek professional help for my child’s growing pains?
If your child’s pain is severe, interferes with daily activities, persists for an extended period, or is accompanied by other symptoms like fever, weakness, or swelling, it’s important to seek a professional evaluation.

What Our Patients Say
Hear from our happy patients! See how chiropractic care at Wagner Health Center has improved their health and well-being.
I injured my back over 20 years ago in the military and then my neck in a motorcycle accident so have been to many chiropractors over the years. Dr. Wagner is top notch. I’ve found that allot of chiropractors just do the same basic set of adjustments every time regardless of what’s wrong with you. Dr. Wagner actually listens, evaluates and only adjusts what and where is needed. I was surprised to see someone comment that they felt he jerked their neck? With my past neck injury Dr. Wagner has adjusted my neck many times and I’ve never felt any rough treatment. He has even adjusted one of my daughters. With a specialty of working with children you obviously know how to be gentle.
I have highly recommended Dr. Wagner to several people and will continue to do so!

Ahhhh…. I’m in love with a married man!! I went for my first ever visit yesterday evening. We did the whole consultation/evaluation thing and an adjustment. I have never been to a chiropractor before… i just woke up last week with unbearable neck/back pain and couldn’t move like i should have been able to. So i searched around and found Dr. Wagner on here and thought I’d give it a shot. I think I’m hooked.

Was having really bad lower back pain called to hopefully get in with him the same day. Was surprised when I called and Dr. Wagner picked up. I first asked if he accepted my insurance and then described my problem area. He instructed me to come in when he opened later that day to see him. I got there and was greeted by Dr. Wagner. After I finished my paperwork I went into his consult room where we went over my problem area and he described to me what he does and how chiropractors can eliminate pain. I was adjusted and it felt amazing. I’m going for a follow up appointment in a couple days. dr. Wagner was patient and funny. Will definitely be back 🙂
