Enhancing Little Steps: Tailored Orthotic Solutions for Children’s Feet

Orthotics for Children

Experience the Difference with The Fane Clinic

At the Fane Clinic we believe that it is never too early to have your child’s feet checked. With foot problems influenced from incorrect footwear or congenital and hereditary issues it is important to have your child’s feet assessed to prevent future complications.

Our Child Orthotics Assessment

During an assessment your child will have their feet, legs and posture checked for any abnormalities. Additionally,  their gait (how they walk) will be closely monitored.

As a parent you may have some concerns as to how your child may be walking or running, their feet may point inwards (known as in-toeing) or the opposite pointing outwards (known as out-toeing) or they could be just tripping over more than expected. Another concern known as flat feet (excessively pronated) which means when weight bearing the foot collapses, these are all common problems which we can easily assist with.

While often children can grow out of problems, we believe that early intervention is key to prevent any further issues as they grow. 

We see children with or without referral from Consultants and G.P.s.

Our consultant will provide you with a professional opinion and depending on the outcome of the assessment orthotics insoles may be prescribed which will correct your child’s problem and encourage good posture as they grow.

We are one of the few Clinics with the technology to be able to scan children’s feet, the results of which are often remarkable. The child’s condition can dramatically improve and in some cases be pain free within a matter of days.

Due to the rapid growth which children go through we provide an aftercare service, in where we carry out regular check-ups yearly.

  • Growing Pains – The child will often wake during the night complaining of pains in the legs.
  • Heel Pain – Common in children between the ages of 8 years to early teens, usually during or after playing sport.

FAQs:

When should children be evaluated for orthotics?

Children should be evaluated for orthotics if they exhibit signs of foot pain, unusual walking patterns, or if a healthcare professional identifies concerns about their foot or lower limb development.

What conditions can child orthotics address

Child orthotics can address a range of conditions such as flat feet, toe walking, in-toeing or out-toeing, juvenile arthritis, cerebral palsy, and other developmental or musculoskeletal issues affecting the feet and lower limbs.

How can child orthotics benefit children?

Child orthotics can help improve gait, correct foot deformities, provide support for flat feet or high arches, and alleviate discomfort associated with walking or physical activities.

Can child orthotics be adjusted as the child grows?

Yes, child orthotics can be adjusted or replaced as the child’s feet and lower limb structure change with growth. Regular follow-up assessments and modifications may be necessary to ensure that the orthotics continue to provide the appropriate support and alignment as the child develops.
