WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMONLY DIAGNOSED FOOT DISEASES IN CHILDREN?
Foot conditions differ in their impact on mobility and their symptoms. Come see us at the Clinique Podiatrique Rive-Sud to meet our podiatric professionals. The majority of treatments given to treat foot conditions in children are put in place since birth when the disease is quickly detected. Here is a list of some foot diseases or disorders in children.
Overpronation of the Foot – Flat Feet
Children suffering from overpronation of the foot feel tingling sensations, electric shocks or burning sensations in the toes. These symptoms are the manifestation of nerve damage or inflammation of a nerve due to its thickening. The pain is aggravated during sports activity, walking or wearing shoes that are too tight.
Plantar Warts
Ingrown toenails are a foot condition known to most people. This disease is the result of the toenails growing into the skin, or when the plantar wart occurs when the skin on one or both sides of the nail grows over the nail. The child then experiences episodes of repeated pain, irritation of the affected skin, irritation and swelling. Ingrown toenails must be treated as soon as they are detected.
Athlete's Foot
Athlete's foot is an infection of the skin of the feet. Often located between the toes like a sore, this disease promotes the appearance of scales on the feet and, sometimes, redness, bad odor and itching. The podiatrist makes his diagnosis after examining the feet.
Walking on the Tips of the Toes
A dysfunction in the vestibular system prevents the transmission of information to the brain about the movements and position of the body. This problem thus creates instability in the child's legs. The podiatrist accompanies the child throughout the treatment and prescribes foot orthoses or shoes with appropriate insoles to support the heel, ankle and improve the health of the feet.
Growing Pains
A biomechanical dysfunction or pathology can hinder your child's mobility. If you notice symptoms such as increased fatigue or abnormal gait, at the first signs, meet a podiatrist for prompt care.
Walking Inwards or Outwards
When your child walks inwards or outwards, over a long period of time, this can lead to irritation on the side of the foot, knee or hip. This is why you should take your child to see a podiatrist in order to prevent or actively correct the position of the foot.
Frequent Falls
A child's frequent falls can indicate a balance problem. It is therefore important to meet a podiatrist to get a medical opinion and seek to correct them.
