01608 Foot Care
Your child's feet are developing and growing. Part of that can mean challenges that you will require the expertise of our pediatric foot care. We at Premier Foot & Ankle Center, LLC provide gentle and patient treatment because we understand that children are wary of going to any doctor's office. Ingrown toenails are common with kids. This is due to the fact that growth spurts often leave them with shoes that were once comfortable instead becoming tight on them. Complications include an infection when the nail edge grows into the neighboring skin. Pain is almost certain, and your child may also experience swelling. Turn to our 01608 foot care for help. Trimming the nail and separating it from the skin is not very difficult. Your child will get receive local anesthesia to ensure that it is as comfortable as possible. Growth spurts also put pressure on the heel bone, which can cause pain in his or her heel. Orthotics may be sufficient for correcting the problem, especially if it's detected and assessed early. Another typical issue that our 01608 foot care deals with is a child with flat feet. Sometime, this is a problem that will resolve on its own, without any symptoms or any difficulties. If pain does develop, however, arch supports for her or his shoes are a good way to treat it. And finally, plantar warts tend to affect children exclusively. They are skin lesions that appear on the sole of the foot, caused by a viral infection. Though they look unpleasant, they are not especially dangerous when taken care of in a timely fashion.
Let our 01608 foot care keep your child's feet healthy and strong. They certainly need them to be, since no one is more active than a child. Call our office and arrange an appointment right now.
