Pediatric foot problems can often be treated with custom or prefabricated Orthotics for shoes.

Conditions for which orthotics can help include:

Pes Valgus (Flat Foot): arches and ankles of the feet collapse and provide inadequate shock absorption.

In-toeing (pigeon toe): Toes point inward due to pathology in the foot or leg.

Out-toeing: Toes point outward due to pathology in the foot or leg.

Heel pain (Sever’s Disease): Growth plate inflammation from the pull of the achilles tendon on the heel.

Pes Cavus (High Arch): Painful pressure points can develop on the ball of the foot and the heel due to abnormal shock absorption.

If you would like your child to be evaluated for a foot condition which orthotics may help, visit one of Innovative Foot and Ankle’s four New Jersey offices located in Montclair, Bayonne, Kenilworth and Little Ferry.
