What are Pediatric Flat Feet?

Pediatric flat feet, also known as pes planus, is a common condition where the arches of the feet are lower than usual, causing the entire sole of the foot to come into contact with the ground. At UFIT Podiatry in Singapore, we specialize in providing comprehensive care for pediatric flat feet, offering advanced treatment options to ensure optimal foot development and function.

Pediatric flat feet occur when the arches of the feet fail to develop properly during childhood. While it's normal for infants and toddlers to have flat feet due to the presence of excess fat pads, most children develop arches by the age of six. However, some children continue to have flat feet into adolescence and adulthood, which may require interventio

Arch Pain

Causes of Pediatric Flat Feet

Several factors contribute to the development of pediatric flat feet:

Genetics

Family history plays a significant role in determining foot structure and arch development.

Muscle Weakness or Tightness

Imbalances in the muscles and ligaments of the feet and lower legs can affect arch support.

Joint Hypermobility

Excessive flexibility in the joints can lead to decreased arch support and stability.

Obesity

Excess weight can put additional strain on the feet and contribute to flat foot development.

Injury or Trauma An injury to the foot or ankle can disrupt normal arch development.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to see a Podiatrist?

To consult with a podiatrist in a private practice, no referral is necessary. However, it is advisable to verify the requirements of your personal health insurance, as certain policies may necessitate a referral for insurance claims. 

If you possess a doctor or professional referral, kindly inform our staff when scheduling your appointment and remember to bring the referral letter with you during your visit. This ensures that we have all relevant information to provide you with the best possible care and may also facilitate any necessary insurance processes.

At UFIT, our key pillar is the use of exercise therapy and education to empower patients to take control of their health and recovery. We consider all factors that may affect your recovery: movement, sleep, nutrition, mindset and rest.

What should I bring to my initial podiatry consultation?

Insuring a comprehensive history review is crucial as it enables our team to accurately identify issues and direct treatment more effectively. If you possess any scan results, test results, or referral notes from your GP or another healthcare professional, we recommend bringing these documents to your appointment.

Additionally, any relevant footwear such as running shoes, school shoes, cycling shoes, football boots, or ski boots can provide valuable insights into your daily activities and contribute to a more thorough assessment and effective treatment approach.

How long is a podiatry appointment?

A typical podiatry session usually lasts around 60 minutes. However, the duration may vary depending on the patient’s condition and specific requirements. Our team  take the time to assess each individual’s needs and design comprehensive and effective care tailored to their unique circumstances.

Can I bring my child for a Podiatry assessment even though they don't have pain?

Absolutely! Podiatry assessments for children, even without apparent pain, are highly beneficial and our team are highly experienced in assessing children's lower limbs. Early intervention can help identify and address potential developmental or biomechanical issues that may impact your child's foot health in the long run.

Is my child too young for a Podiatry consultation?

No, your child is never too young for a Podiatry consultation. At UFIT Podiatry, we specialize in assessing and caring for the foot health of individuals of all ages. Even in the absence of specific concerns or pain, early podiatric consultations for young children can help detect and address potential developmental or biomechanical issues. Our podiatrists are experienced in providing gentle and age-appropriate assessments, ensuring that your child's feet are on the right track from an early age. 

Does UFIT Podiatry offer minor procedures for ingrown toenails and plantar wart removal?

Yes, our team are trained and qualified to perform surgical procedures for conditions such as ingrown toenails and plantar wart removal.

Do you offer direct billing with Insurance?

UFIT Podiatry does not currently offer direct billing services. However, we are recognized by all major insurance providers. Our services operate on a self-pay basis, and patients are required to settle payments directly at the time of service.

For insurance claims, we provide all necessary documentation, and patients can seek reimbursement from their insurance providers according to their policy terms. Feel free to contact us for any additional information or assistance in this process.
