Child’s feet complaints
Children grow quickly, as does children’s feet. In principle, growing is a painless process. Growing pains do not exist. Sometimes, however, growth is accompanied by pain. Your child will complain, for example, of pain in the groin, knees or heels.
Usually in such a case there is a “disturbance” in the body balance of the child. In addition to the fact that the child experiences pain complaints, it may be that the child falls more often than peers or it appears that the bottom of the shoes wear unevenly.
If your child indicates that he / she has pain complaints in the feet, legs or back, this is always a good reason to consult a podiatrist.
TREATMENT OF COMPLAINTS BY VOETPORTAAL
In the treatment of children, podiatry often has a preventive character. The podiatrist can estimate when something is normal (physiological) and when an abnormality is present. If there is a deviation, such as a deviating gait pattern, we will look for the cause at VoetPortaal.
When we have found the cause, we can often treat the complaint quickly and effectively with a combination of manual therapy and (temporary) corrective insoles. Most pain complaints in children can be resolved within a few weeks. As a result, they do not have to miss out on much of their sports pleasure.
