We see many children in clinic for different reasons.

We do try and make it a happy and relaxed appointment for children because as we know they can be worried about what might happen when they come into see us.

Some children may notice something on their foot or have pain but they may not always mention it at first as they are concerned about coming to see a health professional.

Children like adults have foot issues, from ingrowing toenails to pains in their feet.

We have a very relaxed approach at the clinic with children and do our best to keep them relaxed.

If you have any concerns about the health of your child’s feet then please do not hesitate to give us a call on 01582 766614 and we can have a chat with you, if we cannot sort the problem out ourselves then we will recommend another health professional.
