Children are not just smaller versions of adults; they are constantly growing and changing and need to be treated differently. JD Podiatry has the approach that prevention is better than a cure and if we can provide you with the tools to prevent injuries later in life then this is the best result for everyone.
Children can be screened for potential problems later in life however the most common injuries associated with children are flat feet and ‘growing pains’, both of which require a thorough assessment to firstly determine whether they are within the normal limits. If not, a simple treatment program can be implemented to ensure your child is back to running around pain free as soon as possible. If for nothing but peace of mind, an assessment can ease your worries, and if treatment is required, remember that prevention is always better than a cure. We offer free 15 minute assessments for all kids and encourage any parent who might have any questions or concerns, to utilise this service.
