Pediatric foot problems

Dr. Steven Burns cares about your entire family — it’s the reason Arizona Foot Doctors specializes in pediatric podiatry services. Infants, toddlers, children, and teens may experience foot pain and discomfort as they’re growing or from playing too roughly. At Arizona Foot Doctors, our pediatric podiatrist, Dr. Steven Burns, knows your child’s comfort and health comes first. After a gentle examination, he will determine how to treat your child’s foot problem most effectively.

Foot care for infants and toddlers

The size and shape of a baby’s feet will drastically change during their first few years of life. It’s critical to meet with a pediatric podiatrist to talk about this rapid growth phase. During an appointment, Scottsdale podiatrist Dr. Burns will examine your child’s feet and ensure that no pressure or strain is affecting them. If Dr. Burns is concerned about potentially painful conditions, he’ll show you stretches and exercises you can practice at home with your little one to relieve the pain.

Conservative foot care for children and teens

As your child’s foot bones begin to grow, they may begin developing ailments that can cause foot pain, soreness, or irritation. Some conditions, such as plantar warts and ingrown toenails, can be treated without surgery. Even bone deformities can be treated conservatively with the use of custom foot orthotics or physical therapy.

If you’re the parent of a teen athlete, it’s important to consider their foot care needs too. Regular foot checkups and preventative care and support are good practices to avoid sprained ankles and other foot issues that could cause bigger problems in the future.
