Children are born with flat feet. Many parents only discover that their children have flat feet when they are about two years old. What should I do if my two-year-old child is born with flat feet? Some parents find that their children’s flat feet are not a serious problem. It seems that the problem is not big. So do children’s flat feet need treatment?
Pediatric flat feet require treatment. For two-year-old children with congenital flat feet, the degree needs to be assessed first. If the situation is serious, it can be treated surgically. If flat feet are not particularly severe, they can be treated by wearing arch pads, orthotic insoles, and daily exercise. The specifics must be judged by a professional doctor. When parents find out that their children have congenital flat feet, they should remember to take their children to see a doctor in time. Early intervention can achieve better treatment results.
When children are born with flat feet, parents can usually let the children do more sole muscle, toe exercises, heel exercises, etc., through which they can promote the development of the arch of the foot, thereby slowly improving the problem of flat feet. Two years old is a critical period for correcting flat feet, especially congenital flat feet, which often take more time to cure. Therefore, when parents discover that their children have flat feet, they must actively take their children for treatment and improvement. If left untreated for a long time, it will have a negative impact on the child's future walking and even his entire life.
