Is foot and leg pain a typical issue for children?

No, persistent foot or leg pain is not 'normal.' While often dismissed as 'growing pains,' it can frequently be attributed to conditions like Sever’s disease or biomechanical imbalances.

Can I book my child’s podiatry appointment without a referral?
