Since kids are active and are often involved in sports, they are susceptible to injury. Our podiatrist explains what to look out for, common causes, and gives advice for children\u2019s foot pain in Lakewood, CA.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Things To Look Out For<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Complaints are the most obvious sign that something is wrong. If your child complains of heel or foot pain, it is critical to have them evaluated by our podiatrist. Be aware of other symptoms as well, such as limping or toe-walking.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Common Causes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If your child is involved in sports or other athletic activities, they are at a higher risk for foot injuries. Additionally, there are youth-specific problems to look out for. Keep these specific foot problems in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Calcaneal apophysitis<\/strong>. This is a disorder that occurs in children between 8 and 14 years old. It causes inflammation of the heel\u2019s growth plate and the pain is worsened by walking. It is caused by the overuse of the foot, specifically running on hard surfaces. Children involved in basketball or soccer are especially prone to this injury.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Achilles tendonitis. <\/strong>Generally caused by a sudden increase in activity, such as the beginning of the sports season, Achilles tendonitis leads to heel pain, inflammation, and difficulty walking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plantar fasciitis. <\/strong>This condition is a result of overstretching the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue on the bottom of the foot. It causes pain in the heel and the bottom of the foot. Generally, the pain is worse in the morning and gets better throughout the day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Treatments &amp; Checkups<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You can start treating your child\u2019s foot problem at home with rest, ice, and compression. If the pain persists or gets worse, call us to schedule an appointment. For prevention, ensure that your child has quality supportive shoes to avoid injuries in the future. Stretching before sports is also a great measure to warm the muscles up prior to the activity. Additionally, regular checkups are essential for children who are active or have sustained prior foot injuries.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.7&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Contact Us for More Advice for Children\u2019s Foot Pain in Lakewood, CA<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.3&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; global_module=&#8221;35792&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.3&#8243;][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#ccc&#8221; divider_position=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Blog Global Footer&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>The information provided in this article is not meant to be medical advice and is for educational purposes only.
