Pediatric Foot & Ankle Care
Pediatric Foot and Ankle Care at Foot & Ankle Specialists of Delray
Overview of Pediatric Conditions
Pediatric foot and ankle conditions encompass a variety of disorders that can affect children from infancy through adolescence. These conditions, ranging from congenital deformities to growth-related issues, can impact a child's ability to walk, play, and engage in activities comfortably.
Causes and Types
Common pediatric conditions include flat feet, in-toeing, out-toeing, clubfoot, and Sever's disease. These can arise from genetic factors, developmental issues, or injuries. The impact of these conditions varies, with some requiring prompt intervention and others resolving as the child grows.
Symptoms to Watch For
Parents and guardians should look out for signs such as abnormal walking patterns, complaints of pain or discomfort, visible foot deformities, and difficulties in wearing shoes or participating in activities.
