Frequently Asked Questions
At what age should my child see a podiatrist?
We see children as young as toddlers, mainly if parents have observed them walking differently, tripping regularly or reporting pain. It’s always beneficial to have an early assessment.
Do flat feet in children need treatment?
Often, children with flat feet will resolve without any treatment; however, if your child experiences pain, is fatigued during sports or after long days, regularly trips, or has difficulty with balance, treatment can help reduce their symptoms and prevent future problems.
Will I need a referral to see the podiatrist?
A referral is not needed to see the podiatrist. You can contact us directly to arrange an appointment. Fortunately, GPs and physiotherapists often refer or recommend that children undergo podiatry assessments.
Are orthotics safe for children?
Yes. If orthotics are prescribed, they will have been carefully designed for comfort and to accommodate growth. Orthotics provide biomechanical support, encouraging the healthy development of the foot.
Do you treat sports injuries in children?
Yes! We regularly manage sports injuries in athletic children to provide relief from pain, support healing, and help them return to sports or activities safely.
