Paediatric Foot Care in Hove & Southwick
At Podiatrust, we provide professional paediatric foot care in Hove and Southwick, supporting children’s foot health from early development through to adolescence. Based on our clinic in Hove and Southwick, our private podiatry clinic offers gentle, thorough assessments and personalised treatment in a calm, child-friendly environment.
Children’s feet are constantly changing as they grow. While many concerns are a normal part of development, some issues benefit from early assessment and guidance. Our paediatric podiatry service focuses on reassurance, education, and appropriate intervention when needed, helping children stay active and comfortable as they grow.
Specialist Children’s Podiatry in Hove & Southwick
Paediatric foot care requires experience, patience, and a clear understanding of normal and abnormal development. At Podiatrust, your child will be seen by a qualified podiatrist who takes the time to assess how their feet, legs, and posture are developing.
We understand that visiting a clinic can feel daunting for some children, so we take a gentle, friendly approach, explaining everything in simple terms and ensuring both child and parent feel at ease throughout the appointment.
What to Expect During Your Child’s Appointment
Your child’s appointment begins with a detailed assessment of their foot posture, gait, and overall lower limb alignment. We also consider factors such as growth, activity levels, and footwear.
Paediatric podiatry may help with:
- Flat feet or overpronation.
- Toe walking or in-toeing.
- Heel pain, including Sever’s disease.
- Ingrowing toenails.
- Verrucas and skin conditions.
- Nail and skin concerns.
- Foot pain linked to sport or activity.
Where appropriate, treatment may include advice, monitoring, stretching exercises, footwear guidance, or custom orthotics designed specifically for growing feet.
