All Ages
Foothills Podiatry offers specialized care for pediatric patients of all ages, addressing a variety of foot and ankle concerns to support healthy development. Our services include treatments for congenital deformities and injuries, with options that range from physical therapy and bracing to, in some cases, surgical reconstruction. Our goal is to provide tailored solutions that promote proper growth and mobility in children.

Abnormal Gait
One of the most common concerns we see from parents is abnormal gait patterns in their children. To address this, we offer custom orthotic inserts when appropriate, helping to correct foot alignment and improve walking mechanics. In many cases, however, we find that educating parents about normal developmental milestones is the most valuable aspect of the visit, as understanding what to expect can bring peace of mind.

Common Conditions
We also treat a variety of pain conditions commonly experienced by children and active youth. Children often engage in high-impact activities that can lead to overuse injuries, growing pains, or stress fractures. Addressing these issues promptly not only relieves discomfort but also prevents them from developing into more serious problems that could affect mobility and athletic performance as they grow.
