Kids Foot Health
Podiatrists play a crucial role in ensuring children's foot health by detecting and preventing problems early.
How we can help
-
Our expert podiatrists can help identify and address foot problems early on, such as flat feet, pigeon toes, or other developmental issues. Early intervention can prevent these problems from worsening and ensure proper foot development.
-
Regular check-ups at Studio Podiatry can help prevent long-term complications. By addressing minor issues early, kids are less likely to develop serious foot problems that could affect their mobility and quality of life in the future.
-
For active children, proper foot health is crucial. Our team can offer specialised care and advice to enhance athletic performance, reduce the risk of sports-related injuries, and ensure kids can participate safely in their favourite activities.
-
If a child has specific foot issues, we can create custom orthotics using our in house 3D printer to provide the necessary support and correction. These orthotics can alleviate pain, improve posture, and enhance overall comfort.
-
Our experienced team can provide expert advice on the best types of shoes for growing feet. This guidance can help ensure children wear supportive footwear that promotes healthy foot development and prevents discomfort or injury.
-
Monitoring of a child's foot growth and development helps in making timely adjustments to treatment plans as the child grows, ensuring optimal foot health at every stage.
-
Podiatrists can assess and treat gait abnormalities, such as limping or toe-walking, which can impact a child's overall posture and physical development. Early treatment can correct these issues and promote proper movement patterns.
