Good foot and ankle healthcare should begin early in life.  The foot is the foundation that supports the body and is responsible for our daily mobility.  Yet, it tends to be the body part most commonly overlooked for proper care.  

Village Podiatry Centers’ physicians encourage parents to be observant of their child’s foot and ankle development starting at birth.  Some foot conditions, such as clubfoot, are congenital and require early detection to be corrected. 

Parents should remember that a young child’s feet are very pliable. Foot deformities can result from any abnormal pressure from tight covers or shoes that restrict foot growth and development. Shoes should be flexible and properly fitted.  Be aware of your child’s walking patterns which may signal a concern.  Foot pain or swelling without explanation could be a sign of a serious condition and should not be ignored.  Consult with one of our podiatrists to address these concerns.

We provide treatment for foot deformities, injuries, and all common foot problems such as in-grown toenails.  The Village Podiatry Centers’ team includes podiatric surgeons who specialize in the treatment of children.
