Pediatric Podiatry
Pediatric podiatry is a specialized field focused on diagnosing and treating foot, ankle, and lower limb issues in children, from infancy through adolescence. Pediatric podiatrists address conditions like flat feet, intoeing, ingrown toenails, and gait problems, ensuring proper foot development and function. They use age-appropriate assessments and treatment plans, which may include orthotics, physical therapy, or recommendations for footwear. Early intervention helps prevent future issues and promotes healthy growth. Overall, pediatric podiatry aims to support children's mobility, comfort, and foot health during their critical development years.
