• Introduction
• Back pain is one of the most common problems
  experienced by older adults. In most cases, it is
  caused due to normal wear and tear of joints and
  discs of bone as people get older.
• But Paediatric Back Pain i.e. back pain in
  younger children is not a common complaint, it is
  not like the common back pain that is found in
  adults. The functional and mechanical causes of
  this type of back pain are not common for this
  age group, so the Paediatric back pain could be
  an indication of serious underlying disorder and
  demands a sincere attention to establish a
  primary diagnosis.

• Back Pain in Children
• The seriousness of the problem is inversely
  proportional to the age of the child younger the
  child, more serious the condition could turn out
  to be.
• Signs and symptoms of Paediatric Back Pain
• Pain in the nights causing sleeplessness.
• Growing numbness and weakness.
• Stiffness or Walking troubles.
• Constant pains lasting for weeks
• General illness or weight loss.
• Chance of the all the above signs and symptoms
  being the causes of the serious disorder are
  especially high if your child is four years or
  younger. So, these cases must be treated as early
  as possible to prevent worsening of the
  condition. It could also be possible that these
  signs dont necessarily point to a serious
  condition, a screening test is performed by the
  doctor to evaluate the condition and diagnose it.
