children's podiatry
“Step with care and great tact, and remember that life’s a great balancing act.” – Dr Seuss
As your child grows and develops, so do their feet and this process continues well into their teens.
Children’s feet differ from adults’ as the bones are not fully formed and therefore are soft, pliable and vulnerable to damage. During this stage of life, your child may struggle to articulate the extent of their pain. This is why as a parent, it is vital to pay close attention to your child’s feet.
We want our kids to remain active and healthy but tired and painful legs and feet can slow them down. Our team of Podiatrists can assess and diagnose injuries and conditions that affect children’s feet and legs. We work with you and your child to create a suitable recovery plan so they can return to doing the things they love to do.
Does your child…
- Walk on their tippy-toes?
- Tend to sit in a “W” position?
- Walk in-toed (pigeon-toed) or Out-toed (like a duck)?
- Complain of foot or ankle pain during or after sport?
- Have flat feet?
- Complain of sore knees or legs?
- Suffer from ingrown toenails
- Appear to be clumsy?
- Self-exclude from sport?
No concern is too big or too small when it comes to your child. Book an appointment with one of our fun, friendly and caring podiatrists, for a comprehensive assessment of your little one.
