Importance of Pediatric Foot Care
Children’s feet undergo rapid growth and development during their formative years, making early intervention and proper foot care crucial for preventing future problems. Common childhood foot conditions such as flat feet, intoed gait, and heel pain can impact a child’s comfort, mobility, and overall well-being. Addressing these issues promptly can prevent complications and promote healthy foot development.
