Pediatric Foot Care
Is your child experiencing foot pain, walking difficulties, or unusual foot development? Proper foot health is crucial for growing children, as early detection and treatment of foot conditions can prevent long-term issues. At Fulshear Foot & Ankle, Dr. Kunal Amin and Dr. Yumna Siddiqui provide expert pediatric foot care, ensuring that your child’s feet develop properly and stay healthy.
What Is Pediatric Foot Care?
Pediatric foot care focuses on evaluating, diagnosing, and treating foot and ankle conditions in children. Because children’s feet are still developing, early intervention can help correct structural abnormalities, gait irregularities, and pain-related issues before they become serious. Many foot problems that appear in childhood, such as flat feet, in-toeing, or heel pain, can be effectively managed with conservative treatment.
Common Pediatric Foot Conditions
Children’s feet go through many stages of development, and some issues may require medical attention. If your child complains of foot pain, difficulty walking, or frequent tripping, it may be time for an evaluation.
- Flat Feet – Many children have flat feet, but persistent pain or walking issues may require orthotics or therapy
- Heel Pain (Sever’s Disease) – Common in active children, this condition causes heel pain due to growth plate inflammation
- In-Toeing & Out-Toeing – Abnormal walking patterns that may need monitoring or correction
- Toe Walking – Some children walk on their toes; if persistent, it may indicate an underlying issue
- Ingrown Toenails – Can cause pain and infection if not treated early
- Sports Injuries & Ankle Sprains – Growing children are prone to sprains, fractures, and overuse injuries
