Paediatric Podiatry
Expert foot care for children to ensure healthy development, mobility, and long-term foot health.
What Is Paediatric Podiatry?
Paediatric podiatry focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of foot, ankle, and lower limb conditions in children. Children’s feet are still developing, so early detection and intervention can prevent long-term issues and improve mobility, balance, and overall growth.
Common Paediatric Foot Conditions
Lack of arch development, often normal in toddlers but sometimes persistent.
Rotational abnormalities affecting walking patterns.
Can be habitual or due to underlying conditions.
Heel pain in growing children, especially athletes.
Common source of pain and infection.
Viral skin growths on feet.
Can indicate musculoskeletal or neurological issues.
