Prevention is Key!

It is never a bad time to check your child's feet! Here is a quick checklist (as suggested by the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons) to use to determine if your child would need a visit to Dr. Vail's office:

1. Do the bottom of the child’s shoes show uneven wear patterns?
2. Does the child walk irregularly? Is one leg longer than the other or do feet turn in or out excessively?
3. Do pre-schoolers walk on their toes?
4. Does the child often trip or stumble?
5. Does the child complain of tired legs, night pains and cramping?

If you notice any problems (no matter how minor they may seem) do not hesitate to contact Dr. Vail for consultation. Taking care of foot problems during your child's younger years can prevent larger problem when they are older!
