Among active children, the majority of foot and ankle problems are associated with minor trauma and repetitive stress combined with abnormal biomechanics. Older children may experience pain in a specific region of the feet or legs. Toddlers may limp or walk abnormally.

Children can be seen from the age of two weeks. During the critical period of foot development, posture and biomechanics must be carefully overseen. Thus, the podiatrist can treat abnormalities permanently before the end of the growth that marks adolescence. If necessary, the podiatrist will interact with your family doctor, physiotherapist, or pediatrician.

A parent may see a podiatrist to treat, correct, and prevent foot problems in their child. In most podopediatric cases, there are no traumatic events, despite the emergence of the problem. It is therefore essential to see a podiatrist to ensure the health of your child’s feet.
