Why Your Child's 'Growing Pains' Are A Warning Sign for Pelvic Misalignment | The Prime Podcast - Episode 339

Is your child waking up at night complaining of deep, aching leg pain? As a parent, you've likely been told it's just "growing pains"—a normal phase they'll eventually outgrow. But what if that common advice is wrong?

In this crucial episode of The Prime Podcast (Episode 339), Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wies expose the truth behind this widespread misconception. They reveal why "growing pains" are often a major warning sign of an underlying structural issue: pelvic misalignment. Learn how simple childhood tumbles and falls can create imbalances in the pelvis, leading to nervous system interference and causing the frustrating, recurring leg pain that keeps your child (and you) up at night.

Discover the tell-tale signs that the pain isn't from growth, such as when it consistently affects only one leg. The doctors explain how this core issue can be connected to other common childhood conditions like chronic constipation, early motor delays, scoliosis (curvature of the spine), and even painful PMS in the teen years.

Most importantly, get empowered with simple, at-home checks you can perform to spot these subtle imbalances in your child's posture and muscle development. Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie advocate for a proactive, natural approach to health that addresses the root cause of the pain, rather than just masking the symptoms with medication.

If you're tired of feeling helpless and are looking for real solutions for your child's discomfort, this episode provides the valuable insights and actionable steps you need to foster a foundation of true health and proper alignment for your family.

MEDICAL TERMS EXPLAINED

• Subluxation: A chiropractic term for a misalignment or altered position of the vertebrae or pelvic bones, which can interfere with the nervous system's ability to communicate effectively with the rest of the body.

• Pelvic Misalignment: A condition where the pelvis is not level, balanced, or symmetrical. This forces the body to compensate for the imbalance, often leading to uneven weight distribution, muscle strain, joint dysfunction, and pain, particularly in the lower back and legs.

• Nervous System Interference: When a subluxation or misalignment puts pressure on, irritates, or distorts nerves, it disrupts the flow of vital information between the brain and the body. This interference can negatively impact muscle function, organ health, developmental milestones, and overall well-being.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Pain is NOT a normal part of growth; it is a critical signal that indicates an underlying issue.

• "Growing pains" that consistently occur on one side of the body are a strong indicator of a structural imbalance, not uniform growth.

• The primary cause of these pains is frequently an unlevel or misaligned pelvis, often resulting from accumulated falls and minor traumas experienced throughout childhood.

• Parents can learn practical, simple methods to observe and identify signs of postural and muscular imbalances in their children at home.

• Adopting a proactive approach, particularly through chiropractic care, can effectively identify and correct the underlying structural causes, offering a real and lasting solution beyond temporary symptom management.
