Dr. Fawaz Nesheiwat of Foot Care Associates discusses Children’s Foot Care and Foot Problems.

http://www.footcarepc.com

Children with strong, healthy feet avoid many kinds of lower extremity problems later in life. That's why it is important to inspect your children's feet periodically.

When Foot Care Is Needed

To help with flatfeet, special shoes or orthotics may be prescribed. To correct mild in-toeing or out-toeing, your toddler may need to sit in a different position while playing or watching TV. If your child's feet turn in or out a lot, corrective shoes, splints, or night braces may be prescribed.

The foot's bone structure is well-formed by the time your child reaches age 7 or 8, but if a growth plate (the area where bone growth begins) is injured, the damaged plate may cause the bone to grow oddly. With a doctor's care, however, the risk of future bone problems is reduced.

Remember to check your child's shoe size often. Make sure there is space between the toes and the end of the shoe and that the shoes are roomy enough to allow the toes to move freely. Don't let your child wear hand-me-down shoes.

It is never too early to have your childs foot examined. Many problems are much easier to correct at a young age rather than wait until the foot stops growing. Contrary to popular belief most foot problems are not "outgrown".

Heel Pain in a Child

Around the age of 10 years old, it is common to see an active child with heel pain. It is most noticeable after gym or a sporting activity. The most common diagnosis I see for this problem is "apophysitis" or commonly known as Severs Heel. This is an inflammation of the growth plate in the back of the heel. Treatment is always conservative and very effective. Stretching, ice, and anti-inlammatories work well. A visit to the podiatrist will be very useful to determine what else the pain might be from.

Warts

Just like the cold virus makes you sneeze, warts are skin manifestations of a virus. Most people come to the office thinking that there is a splinter on the bottom of the foot. Did you know that plantar wart just means a wart on the bottom (plantar) aspect of the foot. There is no single treatment that works on all people. Various methods include: topical medicine, oral medicine, injected medicine, laser, freezing as well as surgical removal. What determines which method is used is the age of the patient, location, size, depth, medical history, length of time of lesion as well as other factors. Our office offers many different types of treatments to accommodate everyones needs.

Infants

The size and shape of your baby's feet change quickly during their first year. The most common problem seen in this age group are ingrown nails as well as a mal-position of the feet. The ingrown nail is fairly simple to treat in the office. When visualizing a mal-position of the foot it is important to determine if there is any bone involvement.

Toddlers

Do not force a toddler to walk before ready. The way a toddler ambulates in a walker is not an indication of what they will do walking on their own. Once walking begins, watch the toddler's gait. Many toddlers have a pigeon-toe gait, this can be due to many different reasons. This can come from the hip, upper leg, lower leg and the foot itself. Dr. Slomowitz will evaluate your child to see if treatment is needed.

Another problem seen at this time is toe walking. This can be due to anything from a bad habit, that will be outgrown to a neurological cause. When your child is seen the doctor will ask a history that goes back to before your child was born. By doing a thorough history and physical, Dr. Slomowitz will be able to determine if any tests need to be ordered or if any treatment needs to be rendered.

Growing Children

As your child starts to grow you may start noticing things in the way they walk. One of the things you might see is a flat arch. Walking inwards or outwards is another common thing seen in the office.A very recent study demonstrated the effectiveness of orthotics in treating intoe in children ranging from 3-14 years of age.

Children with strong, healthy feet avoid many kinds of lower extremity problems later in life. That's why it is important to inspect your children's feet periodically.

Infants

The size and shape of your baby's feet change quickly during their first year. Because a baby's feet are flexible, too much pressure or strain can affect the shape of their feet. It's important to allow baby to kick and stretch their feet freely. Also, make sure shoes and socks do not squeeze the toes.

Toddlers

Do not to force a toddler to walk before s/he is ready. Once walking begins, watch the toddler's gait. Many toddlers have a pigeon-toe gait, which is normal. Some initially learn to walk landing on their toes instead of their heels. Most children outgrow both these problems. But other conditions detected early can be treated more easily.

When Foot Care Is Needed

To help with flatfeet, special shoes or orthotics may be prescribed. To correct mild in-toeing or out-toeing, your toddler may need to sit in a different position while playing or watching TV. If your child's feet turn in or out a lot, corrective shoes, splints, or night braces may be prescribed.

 Foot Health Facts for Children

Pain in a child’s foot or ankle is never normal. There is no such thing as “growing pains.” Any pain that lasts more than a few days, or that is severe enough to limit the child’s walking, should be evaluated by a foot and ankle surgeon.

Foot problems commonly experienced by children:

Pediatric Flatfoot - Most children with flat feet have no symptoms. However, sometimes they may have trouble participating in physical activities or sports, or appear to walk or run awkwardly. Some complain of pain or cramping in their feet, legs or knees. Any pain or difficulty with a child’s feet should be evaluated. More information on pediatric flatfoot is available in the Pediatric Flatfoot podcast.

Calcaneal Apophysitis (Sever's Disease) - Calcaneal apophysitis is a painful inflammation of the heel’s growth plate. It typically affects children between the ages of 8 and 14 years old, because the heel bone (calcaneus) is not fully developed until at least age 14. Until then, new bone is forming at the growth plate (physis), a weak area located at the back of the heel. When there is too much repetitive stress on the growth plate, inflammation can develop.

Ingrown Toenails - Tight shoes or socks, or incorrect nail trimming are the most common cause of ingrown toenails in children, although sometimes the tendency for nails to curve inward is inherited. When the nail breaks the skin, serious infections can result. Parents should never try to dig the nail out at home; treatment by a doctor is advised.

Plantar Wart (Verruca Plantaris) - Warts can develop anywhere on the foot, but typically they appear on the bottom (plantar side) of the foot. Plantar warts, which are caused by the human papilloma virus, the same virus that causes warts on other parts of the body, commonly occur in children and adolescents. These warts grow deep into the skin, and can make walking or standing painful.
