Expert Care For Children’s Feet
Children’s Foot Specialist Adelaide
At AC Podiatry, we understand the unique needs of children when it comes to foot health. Our experienced paediatric podiatrists in Adelaide are committed to delivering specialised treatment for children’s foot conditions, ensuring optimal development and mobility.
Common Paediatric Foot Conditions
Children may experience a range of foot conditions that require specialised care. Some common paediatric foot conditions we address include:
Baby Foot Care
Proper foot care from infancy to early childhood is crucial for healthy development. Our paediatric podiatrists provide guidance on proper foot hygiene, nail trimming, and monitoring developmental milestones to ensure optimal foot health in babies and toddlers.
Heel Pain
Heel pain is a common complaint among children and can result from various factors such as plantar fasciitis, Sever’s disease, or injury. Our paediatric podiatrists are skilled in diagnosing the underlying cause of heel pain and providing effective treatment to alleviate discomfort and promote normal activity.
Gait Analysis
Assessing and analysing the way a child walks is essential for identifying any abnormalities or issues that may affect their foot health and overall mobility. Our paediatric podiatrists conduct comprehensive gait analyses to evaluate walking patterns and determine the appropriate course of treatment.
Orthotic Therapy
Customised orthotic devices play a vital role in supporting proper foot alignment and function in children. Our paediatric podiatrists prescribe and design orthotics tailored to each child’s unique needs, helping to address issues such as flat feet, pronation, or gait abnormalities.
Footwear Advice
Guidance on selecting appropriate footwear is crucial for promoting foot health and comfort in children. We provide expert advice on choosing shoes that offer adequate support, cushioning, and stability to prevent foot problems and ensure proper foot development.
Skin And Nails
Common skin and nail conditions such as ingrown toenails, fungal infections, or warts can affect children’s foot health. We offer comprehensive treatment for these conditions, including nail trimming, topical medications, or minor surgical procedures as needed.
Warts
Warts on the feet can be painful and contagious, particularly in children. We use various treatment options such as topical medications, cryotherapy, or laser therapy to effectively manage and eliminate warts, preventing discomfort and spread.
Management Of Common Foot Conditions
We provide comprehensive care for a wide range of common foot conditions in children, including flat feet, in-toeing, growing pains, and heel pain. With a focus on early intervention and personalised treatment plans, we ensure optimal outcomes and long-term foot health for our young patients.
