Understanding flat feet in children, and how we help in Brentwood.

Looking for help with flat feet in children in Brentwood? Our Brentwood clinic at 10644 Concord Road offers exams, treatment, and follow up close to home.

Flat feet in children means the inner arch is low or seems to disappear when the child stands. Many babies and toddlers have flat feet because their arches are still forming. Most children's arches develop as they grow.

Some kids have flat feet that do not cause any trouble. Others may get tired legs, sore feet, or clumsy walking. A check helps tell normal growth from a foot that needs more support.

Diagnosis and care

How we treat flat feet in children in Brentwood.

Step 1 · Diagnosis

We watch your child stand, walk, and rise up on their toes to see if an arch appears. We also check how flexible the foot is. X-rays can help if the foot is stiff, painful, or looks different than expected.

Step 2 · Treatment

Most flexible flat feet need no treatment. If your child has pain, supportive shoes and custom orthotics may help. Stretching and strengthening exercises with physical therapy can also support the foot. We may suggest limiting long barefoot walks on hard floors if the feet ache.

Surgery is rarely needed in children. It may be considered only for stiff or painful flat feet that do not improve with other care.
