Our Services

From the first wobbly steps to the enthusiastic leaps of growing years, podiatrists play a key role in ensuring healthy foot development in children. At Affinity Foot & Ankle, we foster a strong foundation for a lifetime of mobility. Regular checkups allow for early detection of any abnormalities like flat feet or intoeing gait. Early intervention through gentle stretches or orthotics can guide the feet towards proper alignment, promoting healthy growth patterns and preventing future complications. This proactive approach can significantly reduce the need for more invasive interventions later in life.

Annual foot examinations are recommended for patients with no major health concerns. However, those with higher risk factors should discuss an appropriate schedule with our podiatrist.

Your podiatrist will begin your appointment by addressing your specific concerns, followed by a thorough examination to check your child's feet for skin integrity, calluses, corns, or signs of infection.

Wear whichever shoes your child feels most comfortable in to the appointment. It is recommended to let your podiatrist know which type(s) of shoes your child wears most often, as this may play a role in any foot health concerns.

If further care is needed, our podiatrist will spend time presenting treatment options and addressing any concerns you have. Insurance, cost, and payment information will be presented before treatment is administered.

By providing proactive care and guidance, podiatrists help ensure children develop healthy, strong feet that can support them throughout their lives. Additionally, podiatrists can recommend exercises to strengthen developing muscles and improve balance, all contributing to a proper stride.
