The podopediatrics is the field of podiatry that focuses on treating conditions related to children.
Whether it’s a concern about your child’s foot skin, a problem with their gait, or pain, your podiatrist can analyze and provide a podiatric diagnosis in order to perform appropriate treatment or refer to another professional if necessary.
At what age can children consult a podiatrist?
The podiatrist can see newborns from the age of one month. The earlier a problem is detected, the more effective the treatment will be in preventing future gait problems and foot, knee and back pain in adulthood.
In the case of inward foot and leg, this problem is corrected much more effectively before the age of two.
