Lower Back

Lower back pain is not limited to adults; it can affect children too, impacting their daily activities, comfort, and overall well-being. While lower back pain in children may raise concerns for parents, expert evidence based care from a podiatrist can play a crucial role in identifying and addressing the underlying causes. At Children’s Podiatry Clinics, our experienced team is dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and alleviating lower back pain in children, ensuring their optimal foot health and pain-free movement.

Understanding Lower Back Pain in Children:


Lower back pain in children can stem from various factors, including poor posture, muscle imbalances, growth-related changes, or foot-related issues.

Causes of Lower Back Pain:

Several factors can contribute to lower back pain in children, such as:

  • Posture and Alignment: Improper posture and spinal alignment can strain the lower back.
  • Muscle Imbalances: Weak or tight muscles in the back or core can lead to discomfort.
  • Growth Spurts: Rapid growth can temporarily affect the spine and surrounding muscles.
  • Foot Structure: Foot problems, such as overpronation or flat feet, may contribute to lower back pain.

Signs and Symptoms:

Parents may notice the following signs in children experiencing lower back pain:

  • Complaints of aching or discomfort in the lower back area
  • Pain that worsens with activity, prolonged sitting, or specific movements
  • Reluctance to participate in physical activities due to pain
