Pediatric Care

What is Pediatric Care?

Pediatric podiatry focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of foot and ankle issues in children. Children typically have softer feet because their bones have not yet fully developed. This can potentially lead to foot problems. Common foot problems we see in children are flat feet or fallen arches, pigeon toes (children walk with their feet turned inward), heel pain, ingrown toenails, and plantar warts.
