Paediatric podiatry is a specialized branch of podiatry that focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of foot and lower limb issues in children. Podiatrists specializing in paediatric care address various conditions, including gait abnormalities, flat feet, toe-walking, and congenital foot deformities. They also provide guidance on proper footwear, orthotic interventions, and exercises to promote healthy foot development in children.
If parents notice any concerns related to their child’s feet or walking pattern, consulting with a podiatrist can help identify and address issues early on, promoting optimal foot health as the child grows.
