Children’s feet are dynamic and continuously evolving, contrasting with the more rigid structure of adult feet. During early childhood, it’s common for children to have flat arches as their bones and joints develop. This flexibility persists until they reach skeletal maturity in their teenage years.
While flat feet are normal during early development, persistent flatness or associated discomfort should be monitored. Signs such as frequent falling, changes in gait, foot or leg pain, and delayed walking beyond 18 months may warrant further evaluation by a healthcare professional. Early detection and intervention can prevent long-term complications and support your child’s active lifestyle.
Our podiatrists perform comprehensive evaluations to accurately diagnose paediatric foot and lower limb conditions. This involves a detailed examination along with a discussion of the child’s medical history and activity levels.
We specialise in diagnosing, treating, and preventing foot and lower limb issues in infants, children, and adolescents. Ensuring proper foot care during childhood is essential for promoting healthy development and preventing future complications.
