Flat Feet in Children

Pediatric Flatfoot Care

Healthy Foot Development for Children

Flat feet in children, also called pediatric flatfoot, occur when the arch of the foot does not develop properly or collapses under weight. This can be a normal part of early childhood, but in some cases it leads to pain, fatigue, or difficulty walking. At Fredericksburg Foot & Ankle Center, we evaluate children’s feet with a focus on healthy growth and early intervention when needed.

We begin with a comprehensive assessment to determine if your child’s flat feet are a normal stage of development or a sign of an underlying condition. Based on our findings, we create a personalized treatment plan that may include supportive footwear, custom orthotics, targeted exercises, or monitoring over time. In more advanced cases, additional therapies may be recommended to improve alignment and comfort.

Our goal is to promote proper foot function, reduce discomfort, and support your child’s active lifestyle. Whether your child’s flat feet require simple observation or specialized care, Fredericksburg Foot & Ankle Center provides complete solutions for healthy, pain-free development.
