We;ve noticed DD#3 walks with her left foot in.....it seems to have gotton worse over a few short weeks. I wasnt that bothered (thinking it would correct itself), but now i think its causing her to fall over, and its very noticeable. Where do i go -GP, paed, or podiatrist???
I'd see the GP for a start. It may not be her foot it might be something else that is turning her feet in (knees, hips?)
I didn't realise my DD was pigeon toed, but walked on tiptoes and was often falling over & didn't have a lot of control when running.
We saw a few different people to get opinions a Physiotherapist, GP, Health Nurse etc..
In the end we went to ICB (Gait & posture Clinic), not sure if you have them in Sydney but he is a Myotherapist & Biomechanist, who specialises in feet, hips... He prescribed DD orthotics after lots of measurements and impressions taken of her feet. The Improvement has been dramatic but over time as DD was a severe case, she compensated by walking on her toes so she didn't fall over as much..
Good Luck with it, Let me know if you want more info....
maybe try an osteo! i was just talking to mine about this on saturday!
Thanks ladies...bookd in 4 GP on wed....see how it goes.
