Children’s podiatry
Pediatric podiatry is a branch of podiatry that deals with the study and analysis of the development of the lower limbs in growing patients.
It is extremely important to know and control the evolution of our children’s feet and legs, as well as the rotational and torsional patterns, since there are times when if we do not control them, they can end up developing more severe pathologies in adulthood (control genu valgo /varus, femoral and tibial torsions, etc).
They are check-ups that are always recommended after 4 years of age, whether or not there are symptoms, and regular check-ups are usually carried out or every 6 months or every year, depending on the case.
