Back Pain Clinic
Nafaur’s Neurocare provides specialist consultation for children with back pain. Back pain can affect a child’s sleep, study and daily activities.
Children may develop back pain for different reasons. For example, muscle strain, sports injuries, falls and poor posture can cause pain. Some children may also have scoliosis, spinal infections or nerve problems.
Parents should watch for these signs:
- Frequent or severe back pain
- Pain in the upper or lower back
- Pain after a fall or injury
- Pain that gets worse over time
- Pain that wakes a child from sleep
- Numbness or weakness in the legs
- Difficulty walking or standing
- Changes in bladder or bowel control
Our Back Pain Clinic helps parents understand these problems. During consultation, the doctor checks the child’s symptoms, posture and muscle strength. The doctor may also review X-rays or MRI reports.
Treatment depends on the cause. Some children need physiotherapy or simple lifestyle changes. However, others may need medicine or further tests. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary.
Therefore, parents should seek medical advice if back pain continues or gets worse. If a child develops leg weakness or loses bladder or bowel control, seek urgent medical care.
