Foot disorders that occur during your child's growth period Osgood's disease, shin splints, jumper's knee, Seaver's disease, etc., are all causes. In this article, we will explain the mechanism, how to deal with Osgood's disease, and what to do to 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 is caused by the fact that excessive flexion and extension of the knee joint puts a load on the rough surface of the tibia to which the patellar ligament attaches, and a force is generated to peel off that part. The main symptoms include knee pain, swelling, tenderness, redness, and feverishness. The pain is aggravated by certain movements, such as running, kneeling, jumping, etc., and is relieved by rest. Osgood's disease is common in growing boys aged 10~16 years and occurs more often in sports such as jumping and kicking a ball. It is most common in children aged 10~15 years who actively play sports such as basketball and soccer. According to a survey in the United States, the prevalence of Osgood-Schlatter disease in 12 to 15 years old (males and females) 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 is completed, so conservative treatment is the basis. If the pain is severe and there are local inflammation findings on the rough surface of the tibia, it is important to refrain from sports. Since the flexibility of the quadriceps muscle decreases and the tibial rough surface is strained, stretching, icing, warm-up and cool-down to improve the flexibility of the quadriceps muscle play a major role. 　In our treatment, we use the Graston Technique for Osgood's disease, with a focus on removing ligament adhesions and contractures at the patellar tendon ligament attachment area, which is the affected area. The Graston Technique improves the repair power of poor quality patellar tendon ligaments that have adhesions and contractures. After the procedure, icing and stretching of the quadriceps are performed. Toward Fundamental Improvement: Another possible root cause is the inability to use the floor reaction force well. We will strengthen the ankle stabilizing muscle groups such as the plantar muscle group, the flexor longus muscles, and the posterior tibialis muscles, and repair the alignment of the joints that hinder the chain of connection to the knee, hip joint, and trunk to connect the vector of force from the floor during jumps to the knees, hip joints, and trunk, and adjust the way the body is used. Alignment of the ankle joint is especially important.

This time, information about 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, which is an informative event that parents should definitely listen to!
