Whether your child is experiencing discomfort or you're simply unsure about how their feet are developing, we're here to provide expert guidance and gentle, age-appropriate care.

Intoeing is common in young children and often resolves on its own as they grow. However, if it’s persistent, causes tripping, or affects confidence or activity levels, a podiatric assessment can help determine if treatment is needed.
Pain that’s frequent, activity-limiting, or affecting sleep is not normal and should be evaluated. Conditions like Sever’s disease (heel pain from growth plate inflammation) are common in active children and respond well to early treatment.
Sometimes. If a child’s foot structure or gait is causing discomfort, imbalance, or developmental concerns, custom orthotics or supportive footwear may be recommended to improve alignment and reduce strain during growth.
