Toward a fundamental improvement in Osgood-Schlatter disease
Foot disorders that occur during your child's growth
There are Osgood's disease, shin splint, jumper's knee, and Seaver's disease, but I think they all have causes. In this article, we will explain Osgood's disease, from its mechanism to how to deal with it and what to do to fundamentally improve it.
Osgood-Schlatter disease (abbreviated as Osgood's disease) is a sports injury caused by bone growth during the growth period, and is a disease that causes painful inflammation of the bone and cartilage at the top of the shin bone (tibia). It occurs when the knee joint is flexed and extended excessively, which puts a load on the tibial roughness to which the patellar ligament is attached, and the force to peel off that part is generated.
The main symptoms include knee pain, swelling, tenderness, redness, and fever. The pain worsens with certain movements, such as running, kneeling, or jumping, and subsides with rest.
Osgood's disease is more common in growing boys aged 10~16 years and occurs in sports such as jumping and kicking a ball. It often affects children aged 10~15 who are active in sports such as basketball and soccer. According to a survey in the United States, the prevalence of Osgood-Schlatter disease among 12 to 15 year olds (male and female) is said to be 9.8%.
Osgood's disease is a transient disease during the developmental period, and most of them are cured when growth ends, so conservative therapy is the basic treatment. When the pain is strong and local inflammatory findings are seen on the tibial roughness, it is important to refrain from playing sports.
Since the flexibility of the quadriceps muscle decreases and the tibial roughness is strained, stretching, icing, warming up, and cooling down to improve the flexibility of the quadriceps muscle play a major role.
In our treatment, the Glaston technique is used for Osgood's disease, with the main focus on removing ligament adhesions and contractures at the patellar tendon ligament attachment area. The Glaston technique improves the repair power of poor quality patellar tendon ligaments that are adhesions and contractures. After the treatment, icing and quadriceps stretching will be performed.
Towards fundamental improvement:
Another root cause is that the floor reaction force is not used skillfully. We will strengthen the ankle stabilizer muscle groups such as the plantar muscles, flexor trotus longus, and tibialis posterior muscles, and repair the alignment of the joints that are hindering the chain that connects the force vector from the floor to the knees, hips, and trunk when jumping, and improve how to use the body. Ankle joint alignment is especially important.

Events for children's inner thigh gait & posture improvement
Participation fee: ¥2000
*Things to be careful of when you are a child
What you can and can't do while raising children, tools to be careful about
*What parents should be careful about until the growth period
Various risk factors during the growth process, such as crawling, strollers, and shoes
*About children's posture self-check method
Early detection of scoliosis and inner thigh gait
*What you can do to improve your child's posture and gait
About self-care at home
10More than a year ago, the Children's Inner Thigh Gait Research Center was established to lead to clinical research on children's inner thigh gait and posture, and now children suffering from inner thigh gait from Japan and abroad are flooding in.
This time, information on children's inner thighs and self-care, including actual walking and posture checks, can be taken for a very reasonable participation fee of 2000 yen, and it is an event that parents should definitely ask!
6Sun, 2nd of the month Nagoya Children's event details and application are here
