You worry about your children’s teeth, eyes, and other parts of the body. You teach washing, brushing, and grooming, but what do you do about your child’s feet–-those still-developing feet which have to carry the entire weight of the body through an entire lifetime? Podiatrists consider the first year of a child's life to be the most important in their development. The feet of a young child grow rapidly during the first year of life, often times reaching half of their adult foot size! This coupled with the fact that the human foot is one of the most complicated parts of the body containing numerous bones means a child's foot needs careful attention when pain or discomfort is present.
Many adult foot ailments begin in childhood and may be present at birth. It’s important that your child’s feet get regular check ups from a skilled podiatrist who specializes in finding these particular ailments.
Early and persistent pediatric foot care can remove or minimize these problems in later life. Neglecting foot health allows for other conditions to appear such as in the legs, back and neck. There can also be undesirable personality effects for a child suffering from foot pain: The child with troublesome feet walks awkwardly and stands with poor posture. As a lifelong result, the child may become shy, introverted, and avoid athletics and social situations. Consultation between the podiatrist, pediatrician, and other medical specialists may to resolve these related problems.
