Children’s Feet Should Not Hurt
If your child is not participating as often in sports or in other physical activities or is complaining of foot pain, don't think it's caused by "growing pains". Your child may have a common developmental foot condition such as flat feet that could be simply treated with a custom molded orthotic (shoe insert).
In addition, you may observe that the child is often falling or tripping and not able to keep up with normal activities. This may be due to a condition called in-toeing or out-toeing.
Many childhood foot conditions can be helped with custom orthotic which is an insert that fits into the shoe that keeps the bones in the feet in their proper alignment. This can eliminate their foot pain and allow normal development as your child matures into adulthood.
In addition, we also treat the following conditions
Flat Feet
Foot Infections
Foot Odor
In-toeing or Out-toeing
If your child is complaining of foot pain, book an appointment with Dr. Scott Schonfeld for an evaluation and help them enjoy healthy happy feet in the years ahead.
