Custom Orthotics

chicago foot doctor custom orthotics for kids

Orthotics are custom-made shoe inserts prescribed by our podiatrists at Weil Foot and Ankle Institute. For children and teenagers, custom orthotics can help to restore proper foot and ankle posture during the critical years of physical development. Custom orthotics are needed for pediatric patients early in their development for correcting abnormal flat feet and intoeing and preventing complications in the future.

Ingrown Toenails

When your child’s toenail cuts into the surrounding skin, they may experience mild discomfort or pain depending on the severity of the condition. If an ingrown toenail is not treated properly, it can lead to infection and accompanying symptoms such as redness, swelling, and possible pus or drainage.

At Weil Foot & Ankle Institute, we can trim and clean your child’s ingrown toenail, and in the case of infection, we can help get your child’s foot health back on track. We can also help you identify possible causes, so you can take steps to prevent a reoccurrence of this uncomfortable condition.

Foot or Ankle Pain

Pain in the feet or ankles can stem from a variety of possible causes ranging from genetics to injuries. When you bring your child to Weil Foot & Ankle Institute for treatment of pediatric foot pain, ankle pain, or even leg pain, we won’t just treat the symptoms; we will seek the underlying cause for your child’s pain and work toward a permanent solution whenever possible.

Some common types of pain we treat in our pediatric patients include heel pain, shin splints, painful sports injuries, and pain caused by an abnormal gait.

Abnormal Gait

If you have concerns about the way your child walks (their gait), then a consultation with one of our podiatrists may be in order. Weil Foot & Ankle Institute has helped numerous patients with a variety of abnormal gait symptoms, including the following:

Flat feet
Toe walking, aka walking on tiptoe
In-toeing, aka toes turn inward instead of pointing straight
Out-toeing, aka toes turn outward instead of pointing straight
