Pediatric Foot Care

Pediatric Foot Care in Flushing, NY

When it comes to your child’s health, every step matters—literally. Children’s feet are still developing well into their teenage years, making specialized pediatric foot care essential for detecting and treating problems early. At the office of Dr. William M. Hansen, DPM in Flushing, NY, we’re dedicated to helping children walk, run, and play pain-free with healthy feet from the start.

Why Pediatric Foot Care Matters

Foot problems in children can often go unnoticed. Kids may not always express discomfort, and signs of trouble can be subtle. However, untreated foot conditions during childhood can lead to more serious issues in adulthood, including chronic pain, joint problems, and posture imbalances.

Common pediatric foot issues we treat include:

• Flat feet
• In-toeing or out-toeing
• Sever’s disease (heel pain)
• Walking abnormalities
• Ingrown toenails
• Warts and fungal infections
• Sports injuries

By addressing these conditions early, we help ensure your child’s feet develop properly, supporting long-term mobility and confidence.

What to Expect During a Pediatric Visit

When you bring your child to Dr. William M. Hansen, you can expect a warm, patient-centered approach. We take the time to evaluate your child’s foot structure, gait, and any complaints of pain or discomfort. Based on our findings, we may recommend:

• Custom orthotics
• Supportive footwear
• Physical therapy exercises
• Minor procedures (for ingrown toenails or warts)
• Guidance on foot hygiene and development

We also provide expert care for pediatric athletes, ensuring growing feet can keep up with the demands of sports and play.
