While arthritis is known to be a condition that affects adults, arthritis can also affect children. In kids, the condition is known as Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA), and manifests as joint pain and stiffness with an occasional fever. New findings, however, show that physical therapy can help kids recover from the effects of joint pain. Techniques such as exercise, alternating hot and cold therapy, and orthotics can all help children find relief from JRA.
Making sure that your children maintain foot health is very important as they grow up. If you have any questions contact Dr. Mayer Salama, D.P.M. of Salama Foot Care. Dr. Salama will treat your child’s foot and ankle needs.
Keeping Children's Feet Healthy
Having healthy feet in childhood can help prevent medical problems later in life, namely in the back and legs. As children grow, their feet require different types of care from birth to school-age.
Although babies do not walk yet, it is still very important to take care of their feet.
As a toddler, kids are now on the move and begin to develop differently. At this age toddlers are getting a feel for walking, so don’t be alarmed if your toddler is unsteady or ‘walks funny’.
As your child gets older, it is important to teach them how to take care of their feet
