Why May Your Children Use Orthotics?
Pediatric orthotics or kidding orthotics might come into play for a multitude of reasons. Most reasons usually revolve around common conditions that can impact their feet as they grow and develop. Heel pain is one of the most common pediatric complaints in children. This is also called calcaneal apophysitis or ‘severs disease.’ Even though this condition can be uncomfortable on its own, remember that this is a symptom that often signifies a different problem that could be developing in the feet.
Here are some other common reasons that you might need to look into child orthotics:
- Excessive pronation and/or supination
- Delayed development including very low tone pronation and sensory issues
- High levels of specific foot correction despite having adequate ankle control
- Knee hyperextension
- Excessive plantarflexion or dorsiflexion
- The need for more medial/lateral stability
- The need for assistance in managing the knee position in extension and/or flexion

FAQ
How often do children need new prosthetics?
If your child’s feet are causing pain or affecting their walking or other activities, they should see a podiatrist. Children with in-toeing or out-toeing feet, or with bow-legs or knock knees beyond the age of two, may require medical attention. Frequent tripping or falling is a common sign they may need orthotics.
Are orthotic protocols the same for children and adults?
While the goals and processes for kids and adults are similar, there are added considerations for children because they’re still growing. From a biomechanical and design perspective, it is similar; however, each child has a unique motor, cognitive, adaptive function, and learning abilities that are accounted for.
At what age should kids get orthotics?
While in some rare cases, a child may be eligible to wear orthotics at one years-old or younger, most start once they turn two, and this is only if they really need to. Health professionals recommend custom-made orthotics at the age of five or six years old, once a child’s foot bones have positioned themselves. However, each child has unique needs. If you have doubts, it's best to seek a professional opinion.
Will my child need orthotics forever?
The answer depends on many different factors. Orthotics are designed to help provide alignment and support to avoid pain and discomfort, however, wearing them doesn’t cause permanent improvements. Some children need orthotics for many years while others need them for the rest of their life. We can help answer your questions during your consultation or appointment.
