However, sometimes children\u2019s feet turn when they walk, which can be called intoeing or pigeon-toed. Your child may walk with their feet pointing in, but most cases can be corrected on their own as the child grows up, which is why there are not any adults with intoeing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Your podiatrist in New York and Whitestone is available to properly diagnose your child\u2019s feet and provide proper treatment plans when needed. There are three common causes of intoeing:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Tibial torsion \u2013 the shinbone is the most common twisted bone. This twist can be caused by the way the baby lay in the womb while the bones are still soft.<\/li>\n<li>Femoral anteversion \u2013 the thighbone can also be twisted inwards, but is usually corrected in time, slowly.<\/li>\n<li>Metatarsus adductus \u2013 the feet are curved inwards, and typically get better without treatment, but for some children who have very curved feet, some bracing may help in the first couple of years of life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">According to your New York and Whitestone podiatrist, children who have intoeing tend to trip a little more at first, but will be fine later on. Children with intoeing will also be just as good at sports and are no more likely to get arthritis or back problems than anyone else.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Intoeing should not get worse and your child should be able to participate in all types of physical activities. If you think your child\u2019s intoeing is getting worse, visit Gary Evans, DPM, James Korponay, DPM, and Caren Schumer, DPM for further diagnosis. It is important to remember:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Most children do not require treatment and self-correct over time.<\/li>\n<li>Special shoes and braces are not usually needed and are only recommended by your New York podiatrist in rare cases.<\/li>\n<li>Orthotics has no role in the correction of intoeing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Visit your podiatrist in New York and Whitestone for more information on intoeing and the best measures to take to protect your child from further complications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<ul class=\"meta-list\">\n<li>Posted on\u00a0February 20, 2014<\/li>\n<li>Tags<a href=\"#\"> Intoeing in Children<\/a><a href=\"#\"> Intoeing<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Categories<a href=\"#\"> Foot Care<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intoeing in Children Normally, most people will walk with their toes and feet pointing straight ahead.
