Whether it is a baby’s first steps or a teenager’s winning AFL goal, healthy feet and sure-footedness make milestones in a child’s life possible. Starting at birth, paying close attention to your children’s feet from proper grooming to gait will ensure a solid foundation as your child grows.
Children’s Podiatry
Some of the common conditions we see in children include:
- In-toeing (pigeon toeing)
- Flat foot
- Ingrown nails
- Warts
- Heel pain (Sever’s Disease)
- Knee pain (Osgood Schlatter’s disease)
- Accessory bones
- Osteochondroses
- Tarsal coalitions
- Metatarsus Adductus
- Club foot
- Juvenile arthritis
- Bunions
- Toe walking
- Curly toes
- Knock knees
- Clumsiness
- Sprained ankle
Management of these conditions may include soft tissue therapy, rehabilitation exercises, footwear suggestions and often simple reassurance that a child is functioning within the normal ranges for their age. Custom orthotics are also an option that may be appropriate in certain situations.
