Persistent Toe Walking in children can often be effectively addressed with our structured 3-step approach:👣
Step 1 – Pyramid Insoles:
Custom-made insoles with pyramid-shaped elevations are tailored to your child’s feet. These insoles provide gentle pressure on the forefoot, encouraging the child to place the heel first when walking. Worn consistently, they help retrain gait patterns in a natural and supportive way.
Step 2 – Night Splints & Muscle Relaxation:
To prevent Toe Walking during sleep, your child may wear specially designed night splints. These keep the feet in the correct position overnight. In some cases, targeted muscle relaxation injections can support therapy, especially if muscles are tight or resistant, enhancing the effectiveness of the insoles and exercises.
Step 3 – Minimally Invasive Surgery:
If conservative measures are not sufficient, a minimally invasive procedure may be considered. In just about 10 minutes, selected fascia are scored, allowing the muscles to stretch. This helps your child roll the foot from heel to toe naturally. Most children experience minimal pain and can walk again the same day, making it a gentle option when needed.
💡 Our goal is to treat Toe Walking as gently as possible, with surgery only if conservative therapies don’t work or the child experiences pain.
If your child consistently walks on their toes, consulting a specialist can help identify any underlying causes and prevent further complications!
