Children’s Foot Care
Not everything can be put down to growing pains. It is important to undertake a thorough and accurate assessment to diagnose your children’s foot and lower leg conditions correctly and prescribe the best course of treatment. If your children appear to have any of the following conditions, get in touch with Angela Green Podiatry to book an assessment
There are several signs to look out for when it comes to children’s foot problems. You should seek our services if your child is:
- Pigeon-toed
- Knock kneed
- Bow-legged
- Toe walking
- Flat footed
- Overing toes
- Ingrowing nails
- Warts
Other issues to look out for are:
- Constantly tripping or falling
- Constant "growing pains"
- Avoiding Sporting activities
- Struggling to keep up with others
- Complaining of foot and leg pain
- Uneven shoe wear patterns
- Abnormal gait
We can assess your child’s feet then offer advice and support with:
- Footwear from your toddler’s first shoes to School and Sports shoes
- Strengthening exercises for feet and lower legs
- Splinting and taping to correct overriding digits
- Orthotics to correct abnormalities in gait and foot posture
- Braces and Splints
- Nail and skin problems
