Helping Your Child Walk, Play, and Grow Without Foot Pain is Our Mission

When a child experiences foot pain, gait problems, or injuries, it can significantly impact their confidence, mobility, and overall happiness. At the Foot and Ankle Center of Arizona, we’re here to provide real answers, reassurance, and expert treatment—so your child can move comfortably and confidently.

Schedule an appointment if you or your child notices:

  • Foot or heel pain during or after activity, especially in the arch or back of the heel
  • Limping, toe-walking, or avoiding activities due to discomfort
  • Feet that roll inward or appear unusually flat when standing
  • Feet that consistently point inward or outward while walking or running
  • Frequent tripping, clumsiness, or difficulty keeping up with peers
  • Swelling, tenderness, or redness after sports or play
  • Tightness in the calves or Achilles tendon
  • Uneven shoe wear that suggests alignment or gait issues

Flat Feet in Children

When the arches don’t fully form, we carefully evaluate your child’s structure, flexibility, and biomechanics. We guide development and offer conservative treatments when appropriate.
