Watching your child take their first steps is one of parenting's great milestones. As they grow, so do their feet, and this development continues well into the teenage years.
Children's feet are fundamentally different from adults'. The bones are still forming, making them soft, pliable and more vulnerable to damage than most parents realise. Children also often struggle to articulate where something hurts or how much, which means foot and leg problems can go unnoticed for longer than they should.
At Sydney Podiatry Co in Balgowlah, our podiatrists are experienced in assessing children of all ages, from toddlers through to teenagers. We see families from across the Northern Beaches, including Freshwater, Manly, Seaforth, Brookvale, Dee Why, Frenches Forrest and surrounding suburbs.
It is worth booking an appointment if your child:
No concern is too small. Early assessment and intervention can make a significant difference to your child's development, posture and long-term foot health.
Your child's appointment is relaxed, unhurried and child-friendly. Our podiatrists take the time to put your child at ease while conducting a thorough assessment of their gait, foot structure and development. Where treatment or ongoing management is recommended, we explain everything clearly so both you and your child understand the plan.
Children's podiatry consultations are claimable through most private health funds with podiatry cover. We offer HICAPS on-the-spot claiming at our Balgowlah clinic.
Our clinic is located at Shop 1, 398 Sydney Road, Balgowlah, with street frontage and easy parking.
