At Taylors Lakes Podiatry Clinic, we believe in fostering happy and healthy feet for the whole family, and that journey starts from a young age. That's why we're proud to offer specialized care as a Taylors Lakes Children's Podiatry Clinic. Our team of experienced podiatrists understands the unique needs of growing feet and is dedicated to providing comprehensive care to ensure your child's proper development and prevent future problems.

 

Why Choose Taylors Lakes Podiatry Clinic for Your Child's Foot Health?

Children's feet are constantly growing and changing. Unlike adults, their bones are still developing, and their muscles and ligaments are not fully formed. This makes them more susceptible to certain foot conditions that can impact their mobility, comfort, and overall well-being. 

At Taylors Lakes Podiatry Clinic, we have the expertise and experience to address these concerns effectively. Here's what sets us apart as a Taylors Lakes Children Podiatry Clinic:

Dedicated Podiatrists: Our team includes podiatrists with a particular interest and experience in treating children's feet. They understand the delicate balance between growth and potential problems and can provide a gentle and caring approach to treatment.

Comprehensive Assessment:  We conduct a thorough evaluation of your child's feet, including a medical history review, gait analysis, and physical examination. This allows us to identify any underlying issues that might be causing pain or discomfort.

Personalized Treatment Plans: We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.  Our podiatrists will develop a customized treatment plan based on your child's specific needs and condition. This may include recommendations for footwear, stretching exercises, orthotics, or other modalities.

Family-Friendly Environment: We understand that taking your child to the podiatrist can be a source of anxiety.  Our clinic is designed to be welcoming and comfortable for children, with a relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff.

 

Common Conditions Treated at Taylors Lakes Children's Podiatry Clinic

Several foot problems can affect children's development. Here are some of the most common conditions we treat:

Flat Feet:  Flat feet are a common concern in young children. While flat feet may not always cause problems, in some cases, they can lead to pain or discomfort. Our podiatrists can assess your child's feet and determine if treatment, such as orthotics, is necessary.

Heel Pain: Growing pains or Sever's Disease can cause heel pain in children. We can diagnose the cause of the pain and  recommend appropriate treatment options to alleviate discomfort and ensure proper development.

Ingrown Toenails:  Ingrown toenails can be painful and frustrating for children. Our podiatrists can safely remove the ingrown toenail and provide guidance on preventing future occurrences.

Gait Abnormalities:  Children's walking patterns can sometimes be uneven or clumsy. We can assess your child's gait and recommend exercises or orthotics to improve their walking mechanics.

Sporting Injuries: Active children are more prone to sports injuries. Our podiatrists can diagnose and treat sports-related foot and ankle injuries, helping your child get back on the field quickly and safely.

 

Early Intervention is Key

Addressing potential foot problems early on can significantly impact your child's future foot health. By seeking regular checkups at Taylors Lakes Children's Podiatry Clinic, you can ensure your child's feet develop properly and avoid potential complications down the road.

Preventive Care Tips for Healthy Feet

Proper Footwear: Invest in well-fitting shoes that offer good support and stability. Choose shoes with a wide toe box to allow for proper growth and development.
