 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.

http://www.basspodiatry.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.

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.

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.

http://qualityfootcarecenternj.com

 Many disorders can affect the joints of the toes, causing pain and preventing the foot from functioning as it should. People of all ages can have toe problems, from inherited to acquired.

 

Toe deformities in adults result mainly from an imbalance of the tendons, causing them to stretch or tighten abnormally. People with abnormally long toes, flat feet, or high arches have a greater tendency to develop toe deformities. Arthritis is another major cause of discomfort and deformity. Toe deformities also can be aggravated by poorly fitting footwear, or if a fractured toe heals in a poor position.

 

The most common digital deformities are hammertoes, claw toes, mallet toes, bone spurs, and overlapping and underlapping toes.

Children’s Foot Care - Podiatrist Monroe, Chester, Central Valley, NY - Laura Piluso, DPM  

Dr. Laura Piluso discusses Children’s Foot Care.

http://www.drlauradpm.com

Choosing shoes for your children can play a critical role in their musculoskeletal development, including their posture.

In general, infants just learning to walk do not need shoes. Infants may go barefooted indoors, or wear only a pair of socks. This helps the foot grow normally and develop its muscles and strength as well as encourages the grasping ability of toes.

Once children are ready to walk as toddlers, their need for properly-fitted shoes is important. In general, a soft, pliable, roomy shoe, such as a sneaker, is ideal for all children. The toe box should provide enough space for growth and should be wide enough to allow the toes to wiggle. A finger's breadth of extra length will usually allow for about three to six months' worth of growth, though this can vary depending on your child's age and rate of growth.

Because high-top shoes tie above the ankle, they are recommended for younger children who may have trouble keeping their shoes on. Contrary to common belief, however, high-top shoes offer no advantages in terms of foot or ankle support over their low-cut counterparts.

Here are some tips when purchasing shoes for children:

• Both feet should be measured every time you shop for new shoes since those little feet are growing. If, as is common, the feet are two different sizes, shoes should be fitted to the larger foot.
• The child's foot should be sized while he or she is standing up with full weight-bearing.
• There should be about one-half inch of space (or a thumb's width) between the tip of the toes and the end of the shoe. The child should be able to comfortably wiggle his or her toes in the shoe.
• Have the child walk around the store for more than just a few minutes wearing the shoe with a normal sock. Ask the child if he or she feels any pressure spots in the shoe. Look for signs of irritation on the foot after the shoe is tested.
• Put your hand inside the shoe and feel around for any staples or irregularities in the glue that could cause irritation. Examine where the inside stitching hits the foot.
• Examine the shoe itself. It should have a firm heel counter (stiff material on either side of the heel), adequate cushioning of the insole, and a built-in arch. It should be flexible enough to bend where the foot bends at the ball of the foot, not in the middle of the shoe.
• Never try to force your child's feet to fit a pair of shoes.
• Shoes should not slip off at the heels. Children who have a tendency to sprain their ankles will do better with high-top shoes or boots.

Children who frequently remove shoes from their feet may be signaling some discomfort. Check your child's feet periodically for signs of too-tight shoes, such as redness, calluses or blisters, which will help you know when they've outgrown their shoes.

Remember that the primary purpose of shoes is to prevent injury. Shoes seldom correct children's foot deformities or change a foot's growth pattern. Casting, bracing, or surgery may be needed if a serious deformity is present. If you notice a problem, please contact our office to have your child's feet examined.

Kid’s Feet

Do Your Children's Feet Have Any of These Common Foot Problems?

Pigeon Toe (intoe) An inward position of the feet when standing or walking.

Out-Toe - Child "walks like a duck."

Flatfeet - In children 3 years of older this should be evaluated.

Overlapping toes - These hereditary problems if caught early can be corrected without surgery.

Clumsiness - If your child stumbles over their own feet often it may be a sign of flat footedness or foot positional problems.

Warts, Nails and Skin Disorders - Rash, itchiness and deformed nails are common and easily treated.

Most of the above are hereditary and if evaluated early are treated without embarrassing shoes, casts or braces. We use the most modern techniques in children's foot care with complete cooperation from your pediatrician.

New Treatment for "Pigeon Toe"

We can fit your infant child with the new CRS (Counter Rotational System), developed by Langer Bio mechanics Inc., of Deer Park, NY.

The CRS allows infants to crawl while maintaining foot position. It replaces the traditional rigid type bars (Denis-Brown Bar) still commonly used today. The CRS bar is designed with hinges which allow the infant to crawl and even stand while being treated. Parents can rest easy while their child's foot problems are being treated both safely and effectively

Wheaton Brace Reduces Need to Cast Infants

"The Wheaton Brace is useful for most mild and moderate cases of tibial torsion (bowing) and metatarsus adductus ("C"-shaped feet)", states Dr. Bilotti. "We still have to resort to serial plaster casts for some stubborn cases." As with most medical problems, these conditions respond well to treatment when caught very early - especially before age one. The Wheaton Brace (Wheaton Brace Company, Carol Stream, Il) is the latest advance in the treatment of children with bowing of the lower legs (tibial torsion) and turned-in or "C" shaped feet (metatarsus adductus).

These very common foot conditions are usually present from birth and many times will resolve without treatment.

The new brace is both comfortable and effective. Prior to its inception, these conditions were treated with weekly applications of plaster casts to the infant's legs and feet. You can imagine how traumatic this is for both child and parent.

Our Orthotics are designed to fit your individual body needs and are definitely not-“one size fits all!”

Custom foot orthotics should not be confused with over the counter “arch supports”. These devises are custom fitted for you and your family at our office either by cast or foam impression or 3-d computer scanning. Orthotics are designed to correct abnormalities of gait and to decrease painful pressure on overly stressed joints, bones and ligaments.

Children can benefit greatly from wearing orthotics especially during the developmental years when bones and joint require structure and support. Adults and athletes know that orthotics can help keep them active during work and recreation and help prevent injury and in many cases the need for surgery. The elderly and diabetic population rely on custom orthotics to relieve pain and prevent potentially limb threatening ulcerations and wounds.

Orthotics can be made for dress shoes, work, sports, growing children and even CUSTOM flip flops and sandals!

Most importantly, custom orthotics are “holistic” and may reduce the need for oral medication; injections and foot surgery. They can also slow the progression of foot deformities and decrease the chances of reoccurrance after foot surgery.

You are probably here because you or someone you care about is suffering from pain or problems with their foot and ankles or you may simply have some question or concerns about your feet and ankles. Whether it is a sore, painful heel in the morning, an ingrown toenail or another foot problem. You are in need of a chiropodist or podiatrist ...I can help!!

Foot and ankle problems usually fall into the following categories:

 •Acquired from improper footwear, physical stress, or small mechanical changes within the foot.

 •Arthritic foot problems, which typically involve one or more joints.

 •Congenital foot problems, which occur at birth and are generally inherited.

 •Infectious foot problems, which are caused by bacterial, viral, or fungal problems.

 •Neoplastic disorders, also known as  tumors, which are the result of abnormal growth of tissue anywhere on the foot and may be benign or malignant.

 •Traumatic foot problems, which are associated with foot and ankle injuries, such as fractures.

 Ingrown nails are nails whose corners or sides dig painfully into the skin, often causing infection. They are frequently caused by improper nail trimming, but also by shoe pressure, injury, fungus infection, heredity, and poor foot structure.

Toenails should be trimmed straight across, slightly longer than the end of the toe, with toenail clippers.

If they become painful or infected, contact our office. We may remove the ingrown portion of the nail and if the condition reoccurs frequently, may permanently remove the nail.

Foot Warts (Plantar Warts) - Podiatrist in Frederick, Germantown and Hagerstown, MD

Dr. Yenisey Yanes of Frederick Foot & Ankle Specialists discusses the symptoms, causes and treatments for Foot Warts.

http://www.mynewfeet.com

 Most foot warts are harmless, even though they may be painful. They are often mistaken for corns or calluses, which are layers of dead skin that build up to protect an area which is being continuously irritated. A wart, however, is caused by a viral infection which invades the skin through small or invisible cuts and abrasions. Foot warts are generally raised and fleshy and can appear anywhere on the foot or toes. Occasionally, warts can spontaneously disappear after a short time, and then, just as frequently, they recur in the same location. If left untreated, warts can grow to an inch or more in circumference and can spread into clusters of warts. Children, especially teenagers, tend to be more susceptible to warts than adults.

Plantar warts, also known as verrucas, appear on the soles of the feet and are one of several soft tissue conditions that can be quite painful. Unlike other foot warts, plantar warts tend to be hard and flat, with a rough surface and well-defined boundaries. They are often gray or brown (but the color may vary), with a center that appears as one or more pinpoints of black. Plantar warts are often contracted by walking barefoot on dirty surfaces or littered ground. The virus that causes plantar warts thrives in warm, moist environments, making infection a common occurrence in public pools and locker rooms.

Like any other infectious lesion, plantar warts are spread by touching, scratching, or even by contact with skin shed from another wart. The wart may also bleed, another route for spreading. Plantar warts that develop on the weight-bearing areas of the foot (the ball or heel of the foot) can cause a sharp, burning pain. Pain occurs when weight is brought to bear directly on the wart, although pressure on the side of a wart can create equally intense pain.

To prevent the spread of warts, follow these tips:

• Avoid direct contact with warts, both from other persons or from other parts of the body.
• Avoid walking barefoot, except on sandy beaches.
• Change your shoes and socks daily.
• Check your children's feet periodically.
• Keep your feet clean and dry.

It is important to note that warts can be very resistant to treatment and have a tendency to reoccur. Over-the-counter foot wart treatments are usually ineffective because their use can inadvertently destroy surrounding healthy tissue. Please contact our office for help in effectively treating warts. Our practice is expert in recommending the best treatment for each patient, ranging from prescription ointments or medications to, in the most severe cases, laser cautery.

Children’s Foot Problems - Podiatrist in Manahawkin, Barnegat, Little Egg Harbor, NJ

Dr. Eric Baskin of Stafford Orthopedics discusses symptoms, causes and treatments for Children’s Foot Problems.

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.

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-downs shoes.
