Children's Feet

Diagnose, Treat and Manage Little Feet

Little feet grow into big feet, unfortunately that also means that little problems can grow into big problems.

Did you know that a child’s foot bones do not fully develop and harden until around the ages of 13-15 years old? Parents need to pay close attention to developing feet for two main reasons: first, certain gait abnormalities may arise during the infancy stage and worsen during adolescence , secondly, stumbles and tumbles can dent a growing child's confidence to be social and keep up with their peers.
