Many foot and ankle disorders in children can be treated with ankle foot orthoses, sometimes referred to as AFOs or braces. Any disorder that results in a muscle or ligament imbalance may cause physical or structural deformity in the foot. Abnormalities are sometimes the result of neurological problems, genetic disorders or trauma.

If you have any questions...
Any time is the right time to ask a question. Every patient presents a unique set of challenges, and parents have their own questions and concerns. It is part of our responsibility as certified orthotists to explain what we do and why so that children receive the maximum benefits from treatment.
