Why should children see a podiatrist?
Pediatric foot problems are extremely common throughout Morris County due to children's rapid growth and development. At our specialized podiatry practices in Succasunna and Montville, NJ, our board-certified podiatrists have extensive training in pediatric foot conditions that general practitioners might miss.
Children often can't articulate foot discomfort, which is why our team is trained to observe subtle movement abnormalities. With naturally hyperflexible feet and adventurous movements, children frequently experience injuries. Our pediatric foot specialists determine which issues need treatment and which can be monitored, ensuring healthy, pain-free feet for life.

Depending on your child’s condition, the doctors prescribe treatment, which may include:

Stretching and physical therapy
