Back-to-School Foot Care: Bunions and Hammertoes

As the back-to-school season starts, it’s important to pay attention to your child’s foot health. Bunions and hammertoes aren’t just problems for adults—they can affect children and teenagers too, especially if they’re wearing ill-fitting shoes.

How You Can Help:

Tip #1:
Ensure your child wears shoes that fit properly and have room for growth.

Tip #2:
Look for signs of foot pain, discomfort, or changes in walking patterns.

Tip #3:
If you notice any signs of bunions or hammertoes, don’t wait to get them evaluated; schedule a checkup.

Addressing these issues early can help prevent future problems and keep your child comfortable and active throughout the school year.
