Expert Paediatric Podiatry
At Ivanhoe Podiatry Centre in Ivanhoe, VIC, we understand that children's feet require specialised care due to their unique developmental stages. Unlike adult feet, children's feet are still forming and primarily consist of cartilage, making them soft and pliable. It's crucial to monitor their foot development closely, as their feet will double in size by age one and continue to grow rapidly throughout childhood. Our team of children's podiatrists is dedicated to providing comprehensive care to address any foot issues that may arise during this crucial developmental period.
Foot Problems in Children
Parents should be vigilant for signs of foot problems in their children, such as uneven shoe wear, skin rashes, hard skin, lumps, bumps, recurrent pains in the feet or legs, and frequent tripping or falling. If any of these symptoms are present, a thorough assessment by a podiatrist is recommended. Our experienced podiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of foot conditions in children, including gait issues, ingrown toenails, and warts. No concern is too small, and early intervention can lead to better outcomes for your child's foot health.
