Is Podiatry Right for My Child?

If your child experiences any of the following conditions or concerns, podiatry may be of benefit:

• Heel pain (Sever’s Disease or Calcaneal Apophysitis)
• Running difficulties
• Walking challenges, like frequent trips or stumbling
• Stiff or painful feet
• Foot or leg pain
• Pain toenails (Ingrown toenails)
• Knee pain
• Walking on toes
• Feet turning inward
• Painful flat feet
• Hip pain
• Growing pains
• Missed milestones in movement or walking
  

We focus on each child’s unique needs. While some kids don’t express discomfort, it's crucial for parents/guardians to watch for signs of limping or pain at the lower limb. Our experienced podiatrists use advanced technology and compassionate care to address underlying causes, ensuring the best outcome for your child.
