If children have flat feet, they need to be corrected in a timely manner. When they are still young, the best correction period can be used to effectively improve. If the condition of flat feet is mild and there are no obvious symptoms, daily nursing measures are important. So, how to improve flat feet in children?
To improve flat feet in children, it is necessary to consider the specific situation. If the child is still in the growth and development stage, special treatment is usually not necessary. The child's feet have not yet formed. If this phenomenon is detected early, conservative treatment can be taken, such as using braces or wearing corrective shoe pads. It is recommended to avoid walking for long periods of time and let the child learn to walk on foot pads, which can alleviate the symptoms of flat feet.
Before the age of 12, this condition can be corrected through orthopedic insoles and some rehabilitation exercises, with very few requiring surgical correction. When children wear orthopedic shoes, it can relieve local pain. For moderate flat feet and younger children, this method can be adopted.
If a child has flat feet, they can also adhere to foot soaking treatment, which needs to be done once a night. In addition to avoiding standing for a long time, excessive weight should also be avoided, and activities should be minimized as much as possible, especially for some intense exercises. Flat feet should be treated as early as possible to avoid affecting the child's mind and spirit. It is also important to take preventive measures in daily life.
