podopediatrics

Podopediatrics is a specialized branch of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating foot and leg issues in children. It addresses conditions like flat feet, in-toeing, foot pain, and gait abnormalities, ensuring proper foot development. Pediatric podiatrists use age-appropriate assessments and treatments, including orthotics, exercises, and advice on footwear, to promote healthy foot growth and function. The goal is to prevent childhood foot problems from becoming more serious and to support overall mobility and activity in young patients.
