Podiatry services
Children’s podiatry
Children’s feet change as they grow. Some variations are typical; others benefit from assessment, particularly when there is pain, frequent tripping or a change in how your child wants to move.
What we look at
A thorough, practical assessment
- Pain, limping, frequent trips or reluctance to be active
- In-toeing, out-toeing, flat feet or uneven shoe wear
- Heel pain or sporting niggles in growing athletes
- Developmental history and what you have noticed at home
How we can help
A plan that fits your circumstances
- An age-appropriate assessment explained in plain language
- Clear advice on whether monitoring or treatment is suitable
- Footwear guidance and activity modifications where helpful
- A plan that involves both child and parent or carer
