Podiatry Care for Kids

Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of the toenail grows into the surrounding skin, leading to pain, swelling, and infection. Our podiatrists provide gentle and effective treatment to relieve discomfort and prevent recurrence.

Plantar warts are viral infections that develop on the soles of the feet, causing pain and discomfort, especially with walking or standing. Our podiatrists offer various treatment options, including topical medications and minor procedures, to eliminate plantar warts safely.

 Flat feet are common in children and can sometimes cause foot pain, stiffness, or difficulty with activities. Parents may notice symptoms such as tripping and falling, especially if their child has flat feet. Our podiatrists offer evaluation and treatment options to address flat feet and provide support and relief.

Growing pains, also known as benign limb pains, are common in children, causing intermittent discomfort or aching in the legs, especially at night. Our podiatrists can assess and provide guidance on managing growing pains to alleviate discomfort and improve sleep quality for children.

Tendonitis or fasciitis in the foot can occur due to overuse, injury, or inflammation of the tendons or fascia. Our podiatrists offer treatment options to alleviate pain and inflammation, including rest, orthotic devices, physical therapy, and other conservative measures.

Sever’s disease is a common cause of heel pain in active children, typically occurring during periods of rapid growth. Our podiatrists provide conservative treatments to manage pain and promote healing, allowing children to remain active while recovering.

In-toeing is a common condition where the feet point inward instead of straight ahead when walking or running. Parents may notice their child tripping and falling more frequently, especially if their child has in-toeing. Our podiatrists can assess the underlying causes of in-toeing and provide appropriate management strategies to promote proper gait development and alignment.

Out-toeing is a condition where the feet point outward instead of straight ahead when walking or running. Our podiatrists can evaluate the underlying causes of out-toeing and recommend interventions, such as orthotic devices or physical therapy, to address alignment issues and promote proper foot function.

Knock knees is a condition where the knees angle in and touch each other when standing straight. Our podiatrists can evaluate the biomechanics of the lower limbs and provide appropriate management strategies, including orthotic devices or physical therapy, to address knock knees and promote proper alignment.

Bow legs is a condition where the knees angle outward, causing the legs to curve outward at the knees when standing. Our podiatrists can assess the underlying causes of bow legs and recommend conservative treatments or monitoring to ensure proper alignment and development of the lower limbs.

Metatarsus adductus is a condition characterized by a curved or “C-shaped” foot, where the front part of the foot turns inward. Our podiatrists offer evaluation and treatment options to address metatarsus adductus and promote proper foot alignment and development.

At Feet On Focus, our podiatrists specialize in providing comprehensive care for children’s foot health, addressing a wide range of paediatric foot conditions and concerns.

1. Early Intervention: Childhood is a crucial time for foot development, and addressing foot problems early can prevent potential complications later in life. Our podiatrists are trained to identify and treat paediatric foot conditions, from common issues like flat feet and ingrown toenails to more complex conditions such as congenital deformities.
2. Promoting Proper Growth: Proper foot care plays a significant role in promoting healthy foot growth and development. Our podiatrists provide expert guidance on footwear, gait development, and activity modifications to support optimal foot function and growth in children.
3. Preventing Sports Injuries: Active children are at risk of sports-related foot and ankle injuries. Our podiatrists offer preventive measures, such as biomechanical assessments, custom orthotics, and footwear recommendations, to reduce the risk of injuries and enhance performance in sports and physical activities.
4. Addressing Developmental Concerns: Children may experience developmental foot concerns that require specialized care. Whether it’s developmental delays, gait abnormalities, or structural deformities, our podiatrists provide tailored treatment plans to address each child’s unique needs and promote healthy foot development.
