One of the most rewarding parts of being a podiatrist is the relationships you form over the years with families. While foot issues increase in number as we age, little children can present with conditions that need addressing. Common conditions in children include warts, ingrown toenails, plantar fasciitis, growth plate issues (often in the heel) and injuries of all types. Many issues present as a result of biomechanical imbalances. It is great to treat these early so as to prevent long term problems. Children often tolerate more foot pain than adults, so keep an eye out for a kid grabbing or rubbing his or her feet. Having a foot screening may prevent involved treatments and discomfort later on. So remember, East Avenue Podiatry in Norwalk, CT is a great place for a family visit.
