At Bull Creek Podiatry, we understand that children are not just small adults—especially when it comes to their feet. Their bones are rapidly forming, their balance is developing, and their gait is evolving.
They’re often actively involved in physical sporting or recreational activities, sustaining injuries, and frequently develop common nail and skin conditions.
While we routinely treat all ages from the youngest of infants to the elderly, we are especially aware of the nuances and importance of paediatrics in podiatry.
Tailored Treatments for Little Feet:
- Developmental Monitoring: Regular check-ups to monitor growth milestones and the development of walking patterns.
- Gait Analysis: to assess walking and running, identifying any areas of concern.
- Orthotics: In certain case, orthotics and other supportive treatments can be beneficial for children, but this must also be taken in consideration with growth and development.
- Exercise Regimens: Fun, age-appropriate exercises to strengthen foot and leg muscles.
- Education: Guidance for parents on shoe selection and foot care to promote healthy development.
Common Paediatric Conditions we treat:
- Flatfoot: Flexible flatfoot is common in children; we offer treatments that encourage natural arch development.
- In-toeing & Out-toeing: Often resolved with growth, persistent cases are addressed with targeted therapies.
- Heel Pain: Including Sever's disease, typically managed with stretching exercises and supportive footwear.
- Ingrown Toenails: Gentle, kid-friendly treatments to relieve pain and prevent recurrence.
- Warts and Verrucae: Gentle, kid-friendly treatments to relieve pain and prevent recurrence.
