Examination of children's feet is an integral part of podiatry. Frequently children have structural imbalances of the feet that may go unrecognized and can lead to other deformities and imbalances within the skeletal system.  When detected early, these imbalances of the feet, some of which are related to bone structure, are treated so that a sturdier foundation can be provided for the later years.

At the opposite end of the scale, care is required for many foot problems commonly seen in seniors. With proper care and attention to their feet, seniors may enjoy many years of pain-free foot function.

Unfortunately, major foot problems can result when people attempt to diagnose and cure their own foot ailments or neglect their feet altogether. Early diagnosis and treatment of foot problems are worthwhile investments in overall good health.
