CHILDREN’S FOOT CARE

Children's feet should not hurt. If your son or daughter is not participating as often in sports or in other physical activities or is complaining of foot pain, don't think it's caused by "growing pains". Your son or daughter may have a common developmental foot condition such as flat feet that could be simply treated with a custom foot orthotic.

In addition, parents may observe that their children are often falling or tripping and not able to keep up with normal activities. This may be due to a condition called in-toeing or out-toeing. When our Podiatrists see a child in our office, we do a complete foot exam to determine the best treatment plan to correct his or her foot problem. Many childhood foot conditions can be helped with a custom foot orthotic which is an insert that fits into the shoe that keeps the bones in the feet in their proper alignment. This can eliminate their foot pain and allow normal development as your child matures into adulthood.

Common pediatric foot and ankle conditions include:

• Ankle Sprains

• Athletes Foot

• Bunions

• Flat Feet

• Foot Fractures

• Foot Infections

• Foot Odor

• Heel Pain

• Ingrown Toenails

• Intoeing

• Sports Injuries

• Warts

We treat children 6 years and older.

If your child is complaining of foot pain, book an appointment for an evaluation and help them enjoy healthy happy feet in the years ahead.
