Foot Pain
Foot pain is not normal in children. If your
child frequently complains of pain in their feet,
it could be a sign of an underlying issue that
requires attention. Promptly addressing foot pain
can prevent long-term discomfort and potential
complications.

Changes in Gait or Posture
Observe your child's walking pattern and posture.
If you notice any significant changes, such as
limping, walking on tiptoes, or an unusual gait,
it may indicate a problem with their foot
alignment. Seeking professional evaluation can
help identify and address these issues.

Misalignment of the Foot
If your child's feet appear to be misaligned,
such as toes pointing inward or outward, it could
indicate a structural misalignment. This may
require intervention to correct the alignment and
prevent further complications, especially if it
affects their balance and overall posture.

Heel Pain
Heel pain can be a common occurrence in children,
especially during growth spurts. However,
persistent or severe heel pain, particularly in
the back of the heel, may be a sign of Severs
Disease.
10
Presence of Plantar Warts
If you notice small, fleshy growths on the soles
of your child's feet, they may have plantar
warts. These warts are caused by a viral
infection and can be painful, especially when
standing or walking. Seeking professional
treatment can help manage and remove the warts
effectively.
