“Growing Pains” Are Not Inevitable

When the bones are growing, they can be deformed by the way a child walks.  This has the unintentional effect of twisting not only the feet, but also the knees, hips, and low back during growth and development and results in pain later in life.

Contrary to what people are often told, children do not usually outgrow foot problems.

In fact the misalignment we see in children is, in our opinion, the basis for the foot, knee, hip, and back pain problems we see in most adults.

The time to correct in-toed, out-toed, flat footed feet is early in a child’s life.  The BEST time to correct a child’s structural alignment and cure “growing pains” is when your child’s bones are still growing.

Many parents bring their children to see us because they don’t run well, or tire quickly, or because their child is in pain in their feet or legs. Pediatricians, chiropractors, and podiatrists send their younger patients to us to treat for foot and leg pains.  We treat children as young as 16 months old.

Correcting alignment problems before they become entrenched and cause greater problems later in life is what we do.

Our orthotic arch support system will properly support your child’s feet in a position that allows their bones and joints to glide evenly upon one another, avoiding the joint damage and injury all too commonly seen in adults. Prevention for children and young adults is the key.
Give us a call today and get rid of “growing pains” and help prevent later problems too.
