Children’s Foot Problem
Children's Feet
Children’s feet are different to adults as they are not yet fully formed. Every child is different and their feet will develop and grow at different rates. During this growth period a number of issues can begin to develop. Problems may include heel pain, flat feet, bunions and turned in feet (pidgeon toed). Brenton can assess the severity and nature of your child’s foot condition and advise the best course of action from there.
At Hurst Podiatry we treat a number of conditions that affect children’s feet.
What is Children’s Podiatry?
Podiatry for children involves the assessment, monitoring and treatment of conditions that can affect a child’s feet and/or lower limbs.
These conditions may be caused by injuries, accidents, development issues, behavioural habits, or genetics.
Should My Child See a Podiatrist?
Children’s feet play a crucial role in their early development, they are integral to some of the first things they learn to do, like walking, crawling and getting them moving in the world.
Children and their growing feet develop rapidly and they can run into problems unique to their age and point in their development.
In this way children’s foot problems can vary greatly to those of adults and it is important that anyone offering care to children understands that.
Through thorough assessments, regular monitoring, and when required, first class treatment, we make sure your child’s growth and development is on the right path and they can do the things they love pain free.
Most importantly we can help you navigate through their developmental journey and help you make decisions on what is worth trying to treat proactively and what is not.
Parents always want what’s best for their children and we can help make sure you have all the information you need to make that choice.
We’re here to help you with any feet and lower limb issues that your child may be experiencing.
At Hurst Podiatry we specialise in making sure your children’s feet and lower limb development is on track and the best that it can be.
