Growing pains encompass a range of injuries that occur in the bones, tendons, and muscles of young athletes during periods of rapid growth. These conditions often involve the interaction between the growing bone and the surrounding soft tissues. When young athletes engage in activities such as running, jumping, or kicking, the repetitive movements cause the tendons to exert a pulling force on the growth plate. This constant strain can exceed the capacity of the growing bone and cause micro-injuries to the growth plate. Over time, these micro-injuries can lead to inflammation, resulting in pain and discomfort.
