Children's Podiatry at Plympton Park
Children's Podiatry Needs
Because children are constantly growing, any issues with their bone development could potentially affect their future foot health. Most of these potential issues can be resolved if they are addressed early, which is why you should have your child examined by a podiatrist if you notice any irregularities and painful lower limbs.
Signs of Child Foot Issues
There are several signs that a child needs to see a podiatrist. In babies, any unusual foot deformities could be a sign of future foot problems. As a child starts to walk, toe walking, where a child walks on their toes, and in-toeing, where both feet point inward while standing, are signs that the child needs to see a podiatrist.

Our podiatrists at Plympton Podiatry Centre can identify and treat most child foot issues.
