At Bayside Orthotic Clinic we specialise in children's feet, and gait problems. There are many conditions in children's feet that may need some form of treatment. Often a poorly aligned foot can lead to other problems such as knee pain, hip pain and even back pain. The foot is a complex structure consisting of 26 bones which all work together as we walk. Unfortunately the foot is one of the most neglected parts of the body, we all have our eyes checked at a young age and visit the Dentist regularly but unfortunately many of us don't get our feet checked until we are in pain. Many children suffer from symptoms of feet problems but their parents through no fault of their own do not see these signs as problems. Some children suffer from a loss of energy always complaining that they are tired, this may be a sign of a foot that is using too much energy as a result of a poor structural position. At Bayside Orthotic Clinic we are happy to assess childrens feet and at least put your mind at rest that there are no problems. If there is a problem with your Childs foot it is better to get onto it early.
