When should I take my child to a podiatrist?
When a child complains of feet-related problems, a parent has to take the issue rather seriously, especially if they complain about the same pain for more than a few days. If left untreated, a foot problem can lead to more serious complications and leave life-long consequences.
However, it is important to note that we don’t mean a parent should panic as soon as their child comes to them with a problem. As they grow, some children tend to experience mild pain or discomfort. But if the condition persists, you are advised to pay a visit to a children’s podiatry clinic.
Generally speaking, the younger your child is, the quicker they will be able to treat the problem if the appropriate therapy is prescribed. Considering, we here at South Coast Sports Podiatry urge you to come to us as early as possible to diagnose your child’s foot condition and start the treatment immediately, if necessary.
