When to Consider a Podiatrist for your Child
Children’s feet are constantly growing and changing, making them susceptible to various developmental concerns. While some may appear minor, they can impact your child’s comfort, mobility, and overall well-being. Here are some common conditions a paediatric podiatrist can help address:
- Sever's disease: Inflammation in the growth plate of the heel, common in active children.
- Tarsal coalition: Abnormal fusion of bones in the tarsus (ankle joint).
- Knocked knees (genu valgum) and in-toeing (pigeon toes): Inward alignment of the knees or feet when standing.
- Flat feet: This occurs when the arch of the foot doesn't fully develop, causing the entire foot to contact the ground.
- Curly toes: Toes that bend abnormally, potentially causing discomfort and rubbing in shoes.
- Toe walking: Persistent walking on the balls of the feet, potentially leading to imbalances and gait issues.
