Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) Disease in Children
Gait abnormalities and walking patterns are common in children and adolescents with CMT, or Charcot-Marie-Tooth, disease. CMT is a frightening prospect for parents, and it’s hard to detect and can have dangerous consequences if left undiscovered. Clinically treating the dysfunction with conservative podiatric therapies can address the foot deformity to slow functional deterioration.
Children’s Orthotics and Insoles
Children’s orthotics and related therapy come in many forms, including customised insoles, prefabricated devices, or over-the-counter inserts. As a parent, knowing your options for orthotic treatment for children’s heel pain, flat feet, Sever’s disease, foot deformities, or acute sports injuries is critical to your child’s future foot health.
