Our skilled podiatrists are committed to providing compassionate and effective care for a wide range of pediatric foot and ankle conditions. Our services include:

• Comprehensive Evaluation: Our Denver podiatrists will conduct a thorough assessment of your child's feet and ankles to identify any developmental concerns or existing conditions.

• Flat Feet and Gait Abnormalities: We specialize in diagnosing and addressing flat feet, as well as other gait abnormalities that could impact your child's walking and running patterns. This may include in-toe walking or out toe walking.
• Ingrown Toenails: Our team provides gentle and effective treatments for ingrown toenails to alleviate discomfort and prevent infections.
• Toe-Walking: If your child exhibits persistent toe-walking, we'll evaluate the underlying causes and develop a treatment plan to address the issue.
• Toe deformities: If your child has a “curly toe” or toes that bend, we will evaluate, provide recommendations and come up with an evidence based treatment plan.
• Sports Injuries and Fractures: We offer specialized care for pediatric sports injuries and fractures, prioritizing safe and effective healing to get your child back to their active lifestyle.
• Warts and Skin Conditions: Our podiatrists are experienced in treating common pediatric foot conditions such as warts, fungal infections, and more.
• Sever's disease: Also known as calcaneal apophysitis, is a common condition that affects active children and adolescents. It occurs when the growth plate at the back of the heel bone becomes inflamed due to repetitive stress and tension from physical activities such as running orjumping. Severs disease often occurs during periods of rapid growth, when the bone is growing faster than the surrounding tendons and muscles can adapt.
