Your Children’s Feet.

You worry about your children’s teeth, eyes and other areas of their body throughout growth, but what do you do about their FEET?

It is very important to have your child’s feet assessed so that any structural or developmental problems can be detected early, while your child is still growing.

Many adult foot problems have their origin in childhood. Poor foot alignment is often the cause of leg, knee and lower back pain later in life.

DOES YOUR CHILD SHOW SOME COMMON SIGNS OF FOOT PROBLEMS?

Feet that turn in or out excessively
Absent / Low arch height (“Flat Feet”)
Uneven wear patterns on shoes
Frequent falling or tripping
Reluctant to walk for long periods
Poor balance or posture
Tired legs, night pains / cramping

If your child shows any of these signs please contact us for more information. Having a podiatrist check your child’s feet may prevent them from developing further problems in later life.

Prevention starts in childhood!
