Expert treatment to help children stay active and pain-free

Children are not simply small adults. Their feet are constantly growing and developing, and many foot problems can be successfully treated when identified early.
At Achilles Foot Clinic we assess and treat a wide range of children's foot conditions, helping your child stay active, comfortable and confident.

Children's Conditions

Children may present with a number of foot problems. Tip toe walking, in-toeing, knee pain, fallen arches, Severs disease and growing pains are just some of the more common examples.
Often early intervention can resolve the issue and/or lead to the prevention of further complications.
If you are concerned that your child might present with any of these conditions please get in touch today. We're here to help!
