Children’s Assessments
- Our Podiatrists are trained in assessing your child’s feet and walking pattern.
- We educate parents and caregivers on what foot posture and gait style is expected at different ages.
- We provide easy to follow stretching and strengthening programs to help children get back to the sports they love playing pain free.
- We use gentle techniques to remove ingrown toenails.
- We educate parents and children on gentle treatments of warts.
