Manuelle Medizin bei kindlichen muskuloskelettalen Schmerzen

The incidence and intensity of musculoskeletal pain are the same in both children and adults. Thus, a diagnosis should be made and treatment begun using the same ethical and professional guidelines. The suffering of children, however, is often not taken seriously. There is no chronic or recurring musculoskeletal pain without muscular reactions. Although the motor system is not always the etiological source of pain, muscular dysfunction as part of the pain symptoms can be used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. So far, the indications experienced in manual medicine have been painful tonus imbalance in babies, tension headache, migraine, functional stomach ache, limb pain, back and neck pain, and pain in the knee and heel.
