Children's Feet       

When should a child be assessed by a Podiatrist?

​

1. Pain in the feet and legs in a child, longer than 2 days. Presence of pain in a child is never "normal".

​

2. A child who avoids  participating in physical activity should be assessed. Foot and leg instability can be a major cause of discomfort.  From my experience each child should be able to find a physical activity they enjoy. It is important for long term health and wellness. 

​

3. Frequent falls. 

​

4. Any parental concern when you think something is not quite right. This may include but not limited to. Unusual shaped feet,  unusual leg alignment, feet that roll in too much, toe walking or in-toed gait or out-toed gait.

​

5. Delay's  at reaching developmental milestones. Such as not walking at 20 months.
