***Pigeon toe walking***

At FNQ Podiatry and Orthotics, we provide professional pidgeon toed treatment for Cairns children. In-toeing, otherwise known as pidgeon toed walking, is noted when someone walks with their feet pointed inwards. In-toeing is one of more common presenting issues we see at FNQ Podiatry and Orthotics, particularly in young children. Parents often have concerns about their child’s walking style and are generally the first one’s to notice there is a potential issue. 🦶

Cairns children’s pidgeon toed treatment options will differ, depending on the cause of the pidgeon toed walking. However, listed below are some of the common options available:
• Strengthening program to improve muscle weakness.
• Stretching program to loosen tight muscles.
• Footwear advice.
• Gait plate orthotics, these have a rigid extension on the outside of the insole. This makes walking in an in-toed position more difficult and retrains the muscles over time so that the leg straightens up.
• Functional activities for the child to do without losing interest. E.g. riding a scooter.
• For severe cases, braces that the child sleeps in are considered as they hold the leg in an external position.
• Surgery is rarely indicated however is an option if there is a structural abnormality of the hip or an underlying medical condition involved.

Pidgeon toed walking can occur for a number of different reasons. With the appropriate early interventions and children’s pidgeon toed treatment, the majority of pidgeon toed cases resolve by the time the child finishes growing in their mid-teens. Our clinics provide effective children’s pidgeon toed treatment, for a range of patients. 👣
