Our children’s podiatry services support healthy leg and foot development from birth through to the teenage years. While some issues improve on their own, others—such as toe walking, flat feet, inherited conditions, delayed walking, growing pains, or coordination difficulties—may need professional attention.
Our specialist podiatrists assess and treat a wide range of foot and lower limb concerns in children. Early assessment is crucial, and a referral is not necessary. We offer a welcoming, child-friendly clinic to help young patients feel at ease, and a sticker or toy is always a welcome addition!
Benefits of Children’s Podiatry
Children showing any of the following may benefit from our expert care:
- Flat feet or pronated feet
- Toe walking, curly toes, in‑toeing (‘pigeon‑toed’)
- Ingrown toenails, warts and juvenile bunions
- Bow legs or knock knees
- Achilles pain, Sever’s disease (heel pain)
- Osgood–Schlatter’s disease (knee pain) and growing pains
We care for children from infancy to adolescence, and our experience as a leading paediatric foot specialist in Melbourne shapes every step of our approach.
