Children’s Foot Problems We Commonly Assess

Our podiatrists assess a range of foot, ankle and lower limb concerns in children and teenagers.

Flat Feet

Flat feet can be part of normal development, but they may need assessment if your child has pain, fatigue, poor balance, uneven shoe wear or difficulty with sport.

Heel Pain

Heel pain is common in active children and may be linked to growth, sport, footwear and activity load.

Walking Pattern Concerns

In toeing, out toeing, limping or unusual walking patterns may need assessment if they are causing pain, tripping or parent concern.

Sports Related Foot Pain

Children involved in school sport or weekend sport can develop foot, ankle, shin or heel pain linked to activity, footwear or growth.

Ingrown Toenails

Children and teenagers can develop painful ingrown toenails from nail shape, tight shoes, sport or incorrect nail cutting.

Footwear Related Pain

School shoes, sports shoes and everyday shoes can contribute to discomfort if they do not provide the right fit or support.

Growth Related Discomfort

Some children experience heel, foot or leg pain during growth. A podiatry assessment can help identify contributing factors and guide the next step.

Warts, Callus and Skin Irritation

Children can develop painful skin concerns that affect walking, sport and footwear comfort.

How Our Podiatrists Assess Children’s Foot Concerns

A good treatment plan starts with understanding your child’s symptoms, movement and development.

Parent and Child Discussion

We discuss your concerns, your child’s symptoms, activity level, school sport, footwear and any injury history.

Foot and Lower Limb Assessment

Your podiatrist may assess foot posture, joint movement, flexibility, balance, walking patterns and areas of pain.

Gait and Movement Review

Where appropriate, we assess how your child walks or moves to identify patterns that may be contributing to discomfort.

Footwear Review

Bring your child’s school shoes, sports shoes and everyday shoes where possible. Footwear can provide useful clues about fit, pressure and support.

Treatment Plan

Your treatment plan may include footwear advice, activity guidance, stretching, strengthening, nail care, orthotics where appropriate or referral where needed.

Parent Guidance

We explain the findings clearly so parents know what to monitor, what can be managed and when follow up may be needed.
