A child's feet lay the groundwork for stability and lower leg mechanics. As children age, they may develop a number of foot problems that affect the mechanics of their lower legs. Many of them are typical and might eventually go away on their own, while others need to be treated immediately away for the greatest outcomes.

Children's Orthotics Orthotics

                                                                                               

 

The orthotics that our Liverpool podiatrists propose for children's feet can be quite helpful. By improving lower leg and foot mechanics, orthotics can assist children in becoming more stable and functioning better. Orthotics can provide relief for vital lower leg muscles and joints that are prone to overuse in young people. They can also help with the increasing pains and symptoms associated with many paediatric foot conditions, such as Sever's disease Sever’s Disease (Calcaneal Apophysitis) and heel/arch discomfort Plantar Fasciitis – Heel Pain, Heel Spurs.

 

Our paediatric podiatrists are experts at treating children's feet and are masters at writing paediatric orthotics prescriptions. The conservative yet thorough approach Liverpool Podiatry Clinic uses when treating children's feet and providing orthotics is primarily responsible for our success.

 

Liverpool Podiatry Clinic offers both prefabricated and custom alternatives for children's orthotics. Our paediatric podiatrists can suggest equipment for kids of all ages because they are experts in designing personalised orthotics.
