About this service
Children's podiatry
Children’s feet, at either clinic
Bring your child to Shellharbour Village or Shellharbour City, whichever suits your family. We assess development, walking and footwear, and often the outcome is simply reassurance that what you are seeing is a normal part of growing up.
What we commonly see, and what usually helps
- Toe walking and in-toeing: often part of normal development. Our guide to toe walking, in-toeing and W-sitting explains when to check.
- Heel pain with sport: usually Sever’s disease, helped by activity changes, heel lifts or cushioning and footwear advice.
- Knee pain in active kids: such as Osgood-Schlatter disease.
- Ingrown toenails: common in teenagers. See ingrown toenail treatment.
- Plantar warts: we explain the options, and SWIFT is available at our Shellharbour Village clinic.
